Context bug - output is shifted about 0.5 cm left

Context bug - output is shifted about 0.5 cm left

[Quiark]

Hello,

I couldn't find any note of this problem on the internet, so I'm 
reporting it.

In the latest ConTeXt, the output of any document is shifted somewhat to 
the left.
To reproduce: create a document with a few paragraphs of text. To make 
the problem more visible, use \showlayout. On the right side of the 
page, there is about 0.5 cm gap. When the PDF is opened in Inkscape, we 
can see that the lines produced by \showlayout are outside the page on 
the left side.

It happens on live.contextgarden.net as well as on my windows machine 
with the minimal context distribution.
The problem does not occur in plain luatex.
The problem happens with pdftex engine as well.
I tried viewing the PDF in multiple viewers.

As this is an important problem, I suspect you are already aware of it, 
but I couldn't find any notice about it.

I think because it's not a problem .

true from almost ten years
see page 37 of pdf cont-enp.pdf  3.3 page composition (the page of
pdf, not those printed on document)

true and it's ok, because you are using the default
\setuppapersize[A4][A4]
Try
\setuppapersize[A4][A3]
\setuplayout[location=middle]
\showlayout
\starttext
\input knuth
\stoptext

here I don't understand you . Are you using context mkiv ?
> The problem happens with pdftex engine as well.

true   :-(  Maybe we will collect the answer here and then update the wiki
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layout

Of course... can be a bug .
