Subject [NTG-context] sidebar and marginrule not working

Dear gang,

The appears to be something wrong with the sidebar and marginrule mechanisms. MWE:

==============
% ConTeXt ver: 2023.09.26 18:19 LMTX

\setupmarginrule[1][rulecolor=darkred]

\definesidebar[Sidebar][rulethickness=0.28pt,distance=3pt,rulecolor=darkgreen]
\setupsidebar[rulecolor=darkgreen]

\starttext
\startmarginrule[1]
\input ward
\stopmarginrule

\blank

\startsidebar[Sidebar]
\input zapf
\stopsidebar
\stoptext
==============

In the output, either

i) the rules do not appear at all (most attempts); or
ii) the rules appear for a split-second then disappear (using sumatrapdf as the viewer, so the pdf updates on the fly).

Is this a bug?
maybe your viewer is bugged

Before sending to the list, I tested the pdf in sumatra (default), adobe, and nitropdf - same result. If three distinct viewers don't show it, then something else must be wrong.

Could you open the pdf I sent to the list? What do you see?

Best wishes
