Context Breaks — Bug report

The new context break feature in 21.4 has a bug. Being able to map a paragraph style to an <hr /> tag is terrific. It is a massive improvement for EPUB developers. That said, there is a bug. 

When an assembled image (like a series of grouped items, or similar) are set to rasterize as a context-break image, and the paragraph tag that it sits in is set to export as an <hr />, the image goes missing. As this is a very common in trade publishing, it would be useful to address this issue.

Hello, 

a real export conflict in Adobe InDesign 21.4 rather than a styling mistake.

What’s likely happening is that the context break image is still being processed as a rasterized object tied to a paragraph that gets transformed into an <hr> element, and during EPUB export the <hr> mapping is taking precedence—so the image gets dropped instead of being preserved as a separate flow item. In short: the exporter is treating both rules (context-break raster image + paragraph-to-<hr>) as mutually exclusive, and the <hr> mapping wins, causing the image to disappear.
