Hi Hans, since textbackground seems now the default background feature to use, do you plan to fix the textbackground overlapping trouble i submitted some time ago?
remind me what it was ...
In the case of mail [1] textbackground overlapped bottom footnote texts or top floats if the backgrounded stuff covered two pages. You suggested to use \chardef\kindofpagetextareas\plusone to prevent from this behaviour. Using this setting fixed it, but introduced some kind of vertical stretchiness failure so that page text can overlap a bottom footnote text as shown in the case of mail [2]. So, both textbackground/page modes have their limitation that makes textbackground use not satisfying. So, it would be great if it could be fixed. I haven't installed the latest context release yet, but there's the same behaviour with context live.
