Hi, it seems this thread got lost. For it describes a quite ugly phenomenon I dare to post it again again. Please, have a look at this 3-page example: \newdimen\XVertikal \XVertikal=12pt \setupbodyfont[postscript,10pt] \setupinterlinespace[line=\XVertikal] \setuplayout [width=113mm,height=48\XVertikal, backspace=20mm,topspace=15mm, header=\XVertikal,headerdistance=0.5\XVertikal, footer=3.5\XVertikal,footerdistance=0pt, location=middle,marking=on,grid=yes] \showframe \showgrid \showgridboxes \showstruts \starttext \dorecurse{10}{\input ward\footnote{\input tufte \relax}} \stoptext On page 2 the bottom most line slips down lower than on the other pages. I observed this behavior in a 450 pages book and the amount the bottom line goes down when footnotes a split is always the same. Is this because of unhappy values in setuplayout or is it a bug? Steffen
The bug seems independent of the values in \setuplayout. See this really minimal example, look at page 2: \showframe \showgrid \starttext \dorecurse{8}{\input tufte\footnote{\input ward \input tufte \relax}} \stoptext Steffen (To Taco: even playing with \topskip doesn't help. The down-slipping stays.) On Mon, 26 Feb 2007 10:24:12 +0100, Steffen Wolfrum wrote:

As there was no reply at all on this thread I got in fear that the "slipping last line of a split footnote" is a basic TeX bug, well known and maybe inevitable?! So I tried to reproduce the same situation in LaTeX (as I don't know the plain TeX equivalent): \documentclass[11pt]{article} \begin{document} \input tufte \input ward\footnote{\input ward \input tufte \relax} \input tufte \input ward\footnote{\input ward \input tufte \relax} \input tufte \input ward\footnote{\input ward \input tufte \relax} \end{document} Good news: this works! So it seems "only" to be a ConTeXt internal bug, and not part of the TeX core. Hans, it's your turn :o) Steffen
