Hi Hraban,

I’m not sure wheter it might be a bug in width and maxwith not working,
but the following seems to work:

    \definefloat[Beispiel][Beispiele]
    \setupfloat[Beispiel][
        width=36mm,
        %~ maxwidth=.6\textwidth,
        offset=1em,
        background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow,
        inner=\hsize.95\textwidth %not very orthodox, anyway
    ]
    \setupcaption[Beispiel][
        location=none,number=no
    ]

    \starttext

    \input knuth

    \startplaceBeispiel
    \input tufte
    \stopplaceBeispiel

    \input knuth

    \stoptext

Just in case it helps,

Pablo
