Hi Pablo,

thank you for advice! Unfortunately I still get the error

ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/math-act.lua:514: attempt to get length of local 'charlist' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
	...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/math-act.lua:514: in function 'horizontalcode'
	...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/math-act.lua:541: in function <...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/math-act.lua:540>
	(...tail calls…)


I see two possible reasons for that:

Either the command „context --make --all“ is not the right one  (besides: How can I check if ConTeXt has remade the format?), or the code is not correctly changed. Maybe you can answer that, Hans.

From line 506 on the code of math-act.lua now is

if kind == e_left then
        local charlist = data[3].horiz_variants
        if charlist then												-- this is the line of the first error as the error code suggests
            local left = charlist[1]
            loffset = abs((left["start"] or 0) - (left["end"] or 0))
        end
    elseif kind == e_right then
       	local charlist = data[3].horiz_variants
       	if charlist then
           	local right = charlist[#charlist]
           	roffset = abs((right["start"] or 0) - (right["end"] or 0))
       	end
     elseif kind == e_horizontal then
        local charlist = data[3].horiz_variants
        if charlist then
            local left = charlist[1]
            local right = charlist[#charlist]
            loffset = abs((left ["start"] or 0) - (left ["end"] or 0))
            roffset = abs((right["start"] or 0) - (right["end"] or 0))
        end
    end
    return kind, loffset, roffset

Is that correct now?

In every case the error code mentioned another line of the same file:

math-act.lua:541: in function <...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/math-act.lua:540>
	(...tail calls…)

Okay, that is very good!
