Dear List,

I am using LMTX 2021.08.30 19:56.

I have the following example –
\starttext
\showlayout

\input knuth
\stoptext 

which yields an output (attached here) with a "asymmetric" layout.

Am I doing something wrong? Or have I missed something? Please advise.

Thanks,
kauśika

I have since upgraded to LMTX 2021.09.06 11:47 and the issue persists.

this is indeed the default, originating in initial usage decades ago: 
singlesided stapled prints and a wide outer margin for making notes

you can do

   \setuplayout[width=middle,height=middle]

as well as

   \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]

and more like that

Hans
