Hans,

I definitely see problems with the \starttextbackground[]-\stoptextbackground environment (discussed in the "displays"-brochure).

When the textbackground falls at a page crossing -- i.e. starts at the top of a page -- the coloring extends backwards on the page just left.
It can be remedied by putting a \null just in front of \starttextbackground. The extra vertical space this introduces just manages to constrain the background to its own page. However, this is not a general solution, on other places the extra vertical space is certainly not wanted.


I cannot find the exact nature of the problem. I suspect it has to do with the \output-routines, but these are not my speciality, to say the least. So, not much help there,

Also, the \starttextbackground does not respect footnotes, these are colored. In contrast, the old \startbackground-\stopbackground does respect footnotes. The coloring stops at the footnote and restarts at the next page. I should like that for \starttextbackground as well.
