Hello,

I've recently updated my standalone (32-bit Linux) ConTeXT from
2011.02.25 to 2011.09.20, and I'm now having some trouble with float
placement. I'm using MkIV. I'm trying to have figures protruding into
the outer margins with a double-sided layout, as described here:

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Floating_Objects#Protruding_Floats_in_Double-Sided_Documents

Here is my minimal example:

\setuplayout[location=doublesided]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,location={margin,header}]
\setupfloat[figure][location=inner]
\showframe
\starttext
% An extra page. \page[yes]
\dorecurse{4}{
\placefigure[]{caption}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=17cm]}}
\stoptext

With version 2011.02.25 this produces the desired result; with
2011.09.20, the first figure is placed correctly, and all subsequent
figures protrude in the same direction, whether they're on an even or
odd page. So in the given example they all protrude to the right. If
an extra page is inserted at the start so that the first figure is on
an even page, they all protrude to the left.

Does anyone have any ideas or insights?

Thanks in advance,

Pont
