Like Luigi said: there is no problem. This is absolutely how it
is supposed to look. I do not know what you want precisely, but
apparently you are unhappy with the standard ConTeXt page layout.
That is fine, after all, it is only a default. Just play with
\setuplayout until you are happy (try \showlayout if you want to
see all of the currently used parameter values). But there is
definately no bug in your installation.
Best,
Taco
