Hi,
There are probably not that many mkii users but just in case you use it
to make something that you include in mkiv / lmtx or similar cases, the
current version of pdftex (tl 2025) has some issue:
\starttext
\startTEXpage
this is a\externalfigure[t:/sources/cow.pdf][height=20pt]cow
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext
Basically anything at the bottom of a tight page setup with no depth, in
the case of text it can be a whatsit, or rule mixed in, spaces don't
matter, will trigger this.
It relates to "using space in the perspective of tagged pdf" features
introduced in the engine that also interfere when that feature is not
enables. We don't set up this feature in mkii but the issue occurs
independent of it being set up.
As said, it's probably not that relevant for context users but I know
that sometimes mkii is still used for imposition or independent
graphics, like:
\starttext
\startTEXpage
\startMPcode
draw textext("xxx");
draw unitcircle scaled 1cm ;
draw textext("xxx") shifted (1cm,0) ;
\stopMPcode
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext
So again, no depth, bottom of page, text mixed with non-text. This issue
actually might impact mptopdf in combination with pdftex.
