Re: [NTG-context] r2l alignment and linenumbering conflict?

      Thank you very much for this, Idris. It works nicely in the sample file you sent. But it goes off again once you add \setupdirections[bidi=global]. Consider the following:

==========
\setuppapersize[A6]
\definefontfamily[mainface][serif][ALMFixed][%
	features=arabic,
	range=arabic,
	]
\setupbodyfont [mainface]

\starttext \showframe
\setupdirections[bidi=global]

\setupthinrules[color=white]
\setupwhitespace[big]

\section{Incorrect}
\startlinenumbering
\startalignment[r2l]

\thinrule

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Pellentesque molestie dictum quam non congue. Integer ut dolor vel mi vestibulum molestie vel et nulla.
\stopalignment
\stoplinenumbering

\section{Correct}
\startalignment[r2l]
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Pellentesque molestie dictum quam non congue. Integer ut dolor vel mi vestibulum molestie vel et nulla.
\stopalignment

\stoptext
=============

With many thanks, and salam,

Thanks for that, Wolfgang. I can only hope that, as the culprit is known, it can be apprehended!
Talal, here is a barbarous workaround using \thinrule:
======================
\setuppapersize[A6]
\starttext \showframe
\setupthinrules[color=white]
\setupwhitespace[big]
\section{Incorrect}
\startlinenumbering
\startalignment[r2l]
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Pellentesque molestie dictum quam non congue. Integer ut dolor vel mi vestibulum molestie vel et nulla.\thinrule
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Pellentesque molestie dictum quam non congue. Integer ut dolor vel mi vestibulum molestie vel et nulla.
\stopalignment
\stoplinenumbering
\section{Correct}
\startalignment[r2l]
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Pellentesque molestie dictum quam non congue. Integer ut dolor vel mi vestibulum molestie vel et nulla.
\stopalignment
\stoptext
======================
This effectively hides the problem. Unfortunately it is apparently not straightforward to invoke the \thinrule automatically at the end of every paragraph [see the other thread with Alan].
Best wishes
Idris
