I discovered some problems centring a float which is rotated using externalfigure. Without rotation everything is fine. However, when the orientation option is provided, the frame doesn't match the figure any more and the centring gets lost. Using the dedicated rotation command works. Example:
\starttext
\startbuffer [fig]
\useMPlibrary [dum]
\starttext
\startTEXpage
\externalfigure [placeholder] [width=10cm, height=4cm]
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext
\stopbuffer
\savebuffer [fig] [fig]
\executesystemcommand{context --purge \jobname-fig.tmp}
\startplacefigure [title={Centred, but not rotated}]
\externalfigure [\jobname-fig]
\stopplacefigure
\page
\startplacefigure [title=Not centred and wrong frame location]
\externalfigure [\jobname-fig] [orientation=90, frame=on]
\stopplacefigure
\page
\startplacefigure [title=Why is this one placed on the left?]
\externalfigure [\jobname-fig] [orientation=89, frame=on]
\stopplacefigure
\page
\startplacefigure [title=Still not centred and wrong frame location]
\midaligned{\externalfigure [\jobname-fig] [orientation=90, frame=on]}
\stopplacefigure
\page
\startplacefigure [title=This one works]
\rotate[rotation=90]{\externalfigure [\jobname-fig]}
\stopplacefigure
\stoptext
Is this a bug?
