Hi all, this is something that has made me wonder: am I doing something wrong here, or is this a bug with footnote placement? Run the attached example, look at the last 2 pages, 5 and 6. On p. 5, the footnotes run off the page area. On p. 6, why is there so much space between text area and footnote area. The reason for this somewhat exotic set-up: our publisher wanted the footnotes of the last page of every chapter to start right after the text, not at the bottom of the page. In the end, I told them I couldn't do it, and they were fine with it. But I still think it should be possible; I've looked into a number of books, and it seems a common layout in the humanities. Maybe someone has a bright idea? (Wolfgang, you answered to this problem 2 weeks ago and suggested having "aftersection={\setupnote[footnote][location=high]}" in \setuphead, but this triggers the same problems). So maybe a bug? All best Thomas \showframe \starttext \dorecurse{21}{Imagine trying to live in a world dominated by dihydrogen oxide, a compound that has no taste or smell and is so viable in its properties that it is generally benign but at other times swiftly lethal.
