Hi Mikael and Otared,
I can confirm issues regarding primes, too. If you are using the STIX 2
fonts (http://www.stixfonts.org) and my example below you get a somewhat
strange behaviour of primes that is pretty obvious. I think the issues
should be fixed.
By the way the issue seems to depend to some extend on the fonts. Using
Lucida by \setupbodyfont[lucidaot] it is not that obvious but still present.
Using Latin Modern it seems that the spacing between the primes changes
between f'' and f^{''}. Cambria seems to show that behaviour (like Latin
Modern), too, but less obvious.
Best regards
Mathias

Hi Mikael,
You are correct, the position of \prime depends on whether there is a next
character or not after it, and it seems that this has an effect on its
position for characters having a subscript as in
$f_{1}''(x) \neq f''_{1}(x)$
$f'f''f'’'$
Best regards: OK

Hi Mikael,
I agree with what you are reporting: the current behavior of the \prime
operator is not completely satisfying when using ConTeXt mkiv, while in mkii
it is the most satisfying (in my opinion…).
The turn around consisting in using $f^{‘’}$ or  $f^{\prime\prime}$, or even
$f^{{}^{\prime\prime}}$, is not really satisfying either.
But I think (or I hope that) at some point Hans will fix it in mkiv.
Best regards: OK

And just for reference, the document below gives the attached pdf,
compiled with lualatex. I think the location of the primes there look
better. Sorry for spamming about this issue, but I think it is
important for all people writing math with ConTeXt.

Otared, thank you for confirmation. I also hope there will be a fix soon.
In the meantime, I put yet another test file. The location of the
primes depends on the next character (I use, at the moment current
version: 2017.05.15 21:48)

Thanks Otared and Mathias!

Hans, just to know, are you working on a fix? Is there anything more
we can provide?

Best regards, Mikael
