Dear list,
Why is the page shifted? Reproducible in TL2017 and latest beta. See also attached. MWE is below.
Cheers, Henri

Why do you think that the page is shifted? Or are you asking why does the
default layout set the left margin width to be larger than the backspace?

How about this? By default text in the margin can run off the page. Also the whole layout is
symmetric (margin widths, margin distances) but shifted to the left. This looks like a bug to me.
Furthermore it doesn't make sense to have a non-centred text block for onesided typesetting.

Just found this in "page-lay.mkiv"
%D The default dimensions are quite old and will not change.
%D The funny fractions were introduced when we went from fixed
%D dimensions to relative ones. Since \CONTEXT\ is a dutch
%D package, the dimensions are based on the metric system. The
%D asymmetrical layout is kind of handy for short
%D quick||and||dirty stapled documents.

theyt run off the page but are aligned to the text side so that permits
a bit more tolerance against wrapping to soon

I see. Would it be possible to add another layout to page-lay.mkiv? I guess a good name is "fit" because it fits all margins on the page.
\definelayout
[\v!fit]
[\v!middle]
[\c!backspace=\dimexpr\layoutparameter\c!leftmargin+\layoutparameter\c!leftmargindistance\relax,
\c!cutspace=\dimexpr\layoutparameter\c!rightmargin+\layoutparameter\c!rightmargindistance\relax]
