Hello Hans,

This bug exists in the latest beta, version 2016.05.12 23:49. Am I doing something wrong or is something really strange going on? I see the following among the logs, which seems correct to me.

structure > sectioning > section @ level 3 : 0.0.1 -> First

structure > sectioning > section @ level 3 : 0.0.2 -> Second

I am surprised that the numbering is reverse; could this be due to the direction=left option? Then, what is the right option to use for right-to-left columns?

Thanks,

~MHB

Hello,

In RTL text, I use direction=left to mirror the columns. I just noticed that surprisingly section numbering will not be correct. See the MWE below, where I get "2 First" at the top of the right column and then "1 Second" in the middle of the left column. The correct numbering should be "1 First" and "2 Second."

\starttext
\startcolumns[n=2,direction=left]
\section{First}
\input knuth

\section{Second}
\input ward
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
