Thank Hans,

I thought something along those lines, but thank you for the explanation. Indeed, I probably should do it differently.

If the "force" option would not break anything then I would like to try that, otherwise it is all fine as is.
This is not really critical and I will rather change the float in my document than create more issues.

Regards,
Adam

Yes and no ... tex cannot really lookahead here. But thanks to some
recent new trickery I can provide:

   location={right,15*hang,force}

However, it really is up to the user to check of all works out right
(but i assume that the 15*hang is also soemthing specific for the
situation). Adapting this already (too) complex mechanism too much is
asking for issues.
