This is indeed a different bug, caused by my special setup using an
invisible top context (with no vertical dimensions) which holds the
global data.  It must have been introduced after version 2.11.20
(which I used to produce a well looking PDF).

Attached are two files which show the difference.  Again, I'm posting
it here to the list and not to the bug tracker so that either Han-Wen
or Joe can confirm the problem.  Maybe this was an intentional change,
and I just missed to adjust my data accordingly.

I would be really glad to see this fixed since it heavily affects all
my scores.
