maybe you can use (in the context variant)
\ifinsidefloat
(true when inside a floating body, so just then put an hbox around it)
(sometimes putting \dontleavehmode in front also helps)

Re: [NTG-context] Problem with text floating around tikz picture
Hello,
I'm forwarding the author's answer back to the mailing list. If anyone
has some nice idea about possible solutions, let us/him know ...
I don't remember how I was solving such problems so far, but I know
that I have always been missing:
% maybe even some external file with extremely long code
\starttikzpicture{picture name}
...
\stoptikzpicture
\placefigure{some figure}{\usetikzpicture{picture name}}
If that was implemented, maybe \usetikzpicture could be inside an hbox?

\starttikzpicture
should do the box trick ...
\let\normalstarttikzpicture\starttikzpicture
\let\normalstoptikzpicture \stoptikzpicture
\def\starttikzpicture{\hbox\bgroup\nomalstarttikzpicture}
\def\stoptikzpicture {\nomalstoptikzpicture\egroup}
but i'm not maintaining thst module myself

[NTG-context] Problem with text floating around tikz picture
Hi again;),
this won't work:
\placefigure[right]{none}{\starttikzpicture
\draw (0,0) -| (2,2) -| (0,0) -- (2,2)
(2,0) -- (0,2)
(1,1) circle(1);
\stoptikzpicture}
(some text...)
The tikzpicture apparently extends to the whole text width, resulting in
an overfull box (and nasty paragraph formatting). Putting it into an
\hbox helps, so I know what to do; the question is, _why_ this works
that way?
