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
