753.0. "Change bar vanishes when a figure floats" by CASEE::CLARK (Ward Clark) Wed Aug 05 1987 07:10

    In a REPORT document, I put <MARK> and <ENDMARK> around 4 paragraphs of
    text.  Between the first and second paragraphs, is a <FIGURE> that it
    allowed to float.

    When the figure actually does float to a new page, no change bars
    appear on the initial paragraphs.  Only the paragraphs following the
    figure have change bars.

    (This problem may be related to the "special" error reported in the
    previous topic.)

    Yes, it's related to the \special errors reported elsewhere. Change
    bars, as well as floating figures and tables, all use \mark in
    TeX to keep track of the context. Unfortunately, there is only one
    set of real 'mark' entities (unlike dimens, of which there are 256).
    
    We hope to look more carefully at all of this in our next plunge
    into TeX.
