Hello.

Consider the following MWE:

\usemodule[tikz] \setuplayout[grid=yes] \starttext \startstandardmakeup Not nothing. \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext

The output consists of two pages, the first being an unexpected and undesired blank. Removal of either tikz, grid or makeup is sufficient to make the blank disappear. I am failing to see how these three interact.

My versions: This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.80.0 (TeX Live 2015) (rev 5238) ConTeXt ver: 2015.05.18 12:26 MKIV current fmt: 2015.10.28 int: english/english

The bug is reproduced also at live.contextgarden.net http://live.contextgarden.net too

Here is the related SE question: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/284972/tikz-causes-blank-page-in-fron...

Can anyone explain the interaction or provide a workaround?

it's a bug in tikz ... it uses an extra file that needs to be opened immediate in order not to introduce an interfering node for now, in cont-new.mkiv put this: \unexpanded\def\openout{\immediate\normalopenout} ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
