Hi, Indeed using \frac yields a weird result in the example sent by Mikael. Compare the output of the three formulas below, with or without \setupmathradical[sqrt][alternative=default]. The results are correct using \over in both cases, while the first one is weird when using \frac and \setupmathradical[sqrt][alternative=default]. Best regards: OK %%% start of test file \starttext \startbuffer[math] \startformula \sqrt{1+\Bigl(\frac{f(x_k)-f(x_{k-1})}{x_k-x_{k-1}}\Bigr)^2} \stopformula \startformula 1+\Bigl(\frac{f(x_k)-f(x_{k-1})}{x_k-x_{k-1}}\Bigr)^2 \stopformula \startformula \sqrt{1+\Bigl({f(x_k)-f(x_{k-1}) \over x_k - x_{k-1}}\Bigr)^2} \stopformula \stopbuffer \getbuffer[math] \hairline \setupmathradical[sqrt][alternative=default] \getbuffer[math] \stoptext %%% end of test file

Hans,
maybe the \setupmathradical[sqrt][alternative=default] was not so successful after all. Or maybe this is a bug:
%%% start of test file \setupmathradical[sqrt][alternative=default]
\starttext \startformula \sqrt{1+\Bigl(\frac{f(x_k)-f(x_{k-1})}{x_k-x_{k-1}}\Bigr)^2} \stopformula \stoptext %%% stop of test file
The numerator looks too small in my opinion. Compiled with 2017.06.06 13:22.
