[NTG-context] \definepagebreak[header, footer] not working when changing matters
I have discovered that \definepagebreak[header,footer] doesn't right with chapters when changing from frontmatter to bodymatter (and similar divisions). Here you have a sample: \definepagebreak[firstpagebreak][yes,header,footer,right] \setuphead[chapter][page=firstpagebreak] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,location={botton}] \starttext \startfrontmatter \dorecurse{4}{\chapter{front}} \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \dorecurse{4}{\chapter{body}} \stopbodymatter \startappendices \dorecurse{4}{\chapter{body}} \stopappendices \startbackmatter \dorecurse{4}{\chapter{body}} \stopbackmatter \stoptext Pages previous to chapters with no text should also lack header and footer, but in the example above this doesn't work when text divisions (such as front matter, body matter, appendices and back matter) change. I guess this might be a bug.
