If your document is set up as double-sided (\setuplayout[alternative=doublesided] or similar) then I think this is the expected behaviour, since the margins flip on odd and even pages. You could set up as single-sided to prevent this but you may be relying on the double-sided setup for other things (page numbers, headers and footers for example).

Hi there,

when having an overflowing TABLE in width (e.g. with the TABLE option
'textwidth=\dimexpr\textwidth+\rightmarginwidth\relax') the position
(horizontal) changes after a split.

Before the first split the table overflows into the right margin. After
that the position changes and it's overflowing into the left margin.

Here is a minimal example:

\startplacetable[location={split}]
\bTABLE[option=stretch,split=yes,textwidth=\dimexpr\textwidth+\rightmarginwidth+\rightmargindistance\relax]

  \dorecurse{100}{
       \bTR
         \bTD Cell 1 \eTD
         \bTD Cell 2 \eTD
         \bTD Cell 3 \eTD
       \eTR
     }
\eTABLE
\stopplacetable

Is this behavior expected?

I would like the position to be the same as before the split,
overflowing into the right margin, how could I achieve this.

Thank you and best regards
