Hi,

I have observed that the widths of captions and also notes on even pages is not as I would expect them to be.

Reading through the documentation I figured out that the width for captions has to be set manually when they are placed in the outer margin. I did so by setting it to width=\outermarginwidth.

But it seems that for captions the width is derived from the inner margin width on even pages.

The width of notes in the outer margin placed with \inouter is also off on even pages. They are too narrow and do not "fill" the available space (things seems to work for notes in inner margins though).

Here is an example:

\setuppapersize[A4]
\setuplayout[backspace=40mm, width=100mm, leftmargindistance=5mm, leftmargin=30mm, rightmargindistance=5mm, rightmargin=50mm, topspace=10mm]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\setupcaptions[location={outermargin, low}, width=\outermarginwidth, headcolor=red, color=green, style={\tfx\setupinterlinespace}, align=width]
\setupexternalfigures[location=default]
\setupmargindata[style={\tfx}, stack=yes]
\setupmargindata[inouter][color=orange]
\setupmargindata[ininner][color=blue]

\showframe

\starttext
\section{Margin Tests}
\input knuth
Some more stuff\inouter{Some multi-line text to be placed in the outer margin to check whether it is positioned correctly.} to read\inouter{Another multi-line text to be placed in the outer margin to check whether it is positioned correctly.}.

\startplacefigure[title={A lengthy caption perfectly suited to perform some tests, which cause lines to wrap.}]
{\externalfigure[cow][maxwidth=80mm]}
\stopplacefigure

More stuff\ininner{A1, A2, A3, A4 are well-known paper formats used in Europe and in some other places.}.

\input zapf
Some more stuff\inouter{Some multi-line text to be placed in the outer margin to check whether it is positioned correctly.} to read.

\startplacefigure[title=A SVG test with a long caption to cause line wraps.]
{\externalfigure[cow][maxwidth=70mm]}
\stopplacefigure

More stuff\ininner{A1, A2, A3, A4 are well-known paper formats used in Europe and in some other places.} to read.

\input knuth

\stoptext

As a workaround the width for captions can be set to width=\rightmarginwidth, but how can I solve the issue with the notes?

I am running ConteXt 2023.09.26 18:19 on Windows 10.

Thanks and best regards
