Hi all,

The following example shows that the content of \localleftbox leaks into
footnotes.  The same is true with \localrightbox.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\input luaotfload.sty
\def\myfontname{Arial}
\font\myfont={name:\myfontname} at 12pt
\myfont

\hsize=160mm
\parindent=0mm

Bla bla bla\footnote{*}{Foo}

\localleftbox{|}
Bla bla bla\footnote{**}{Bar}
\bye
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Is it a known feature or a bug?  Coding
{\localleftbox{}\footnote{**}{Bar}} is an option, not very pleasant though…

Best regards,
