[NTG-context] menu question
Hi, With... \startinteractionmenu[right] \placecontent[..., criterium=chapter (or section), ...] \stopinteractionmenu and chapter/section lists longer than the text area height, how do you prevent the menu items from extending beyond the bottom of the text area (and page) and have the menu scroll down after the menu's bottom chapter/section item ? I tried my luck with distance=\textheight but no luck and don't see any other option which could provide this feature.
