Hi all,
The following example shows that the content of \localleftbox leaks into
footnotes. The same is true with \localrightbox.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\input luaotfload.sty
\def\myfontname{Arial}
\font\myfont={name:\myfontname} at 12pt
\myfont
\hsize=160mm
\parindent=0mm
Bla bla bla\footnote{*}{Foo}
\localleftbox{|}
Bla bla bla\footnote{**}{Bar}
\bye

Is it a known feature or a bug? Coding
{\localleftbox{}\footnote{**}{Bar}} is an option, not very pleasant though…
It's a feature .. but if you want to use trickery like \local*box your
macro package needs to manage it properly (because only the package know
what is intended) .. you can do:
\let\normalfootnote\footnote
\def\footnote#1#2%
{\begingroup
\localleftbox{}%
\normalfootnote{#1}{#2}%
\endgroup}
but even then I bet that you get local boxes in places. In fact it's an
example of a limited useable feature (and why not more such features get
aded to the core). In retrospect we could have removed it.
