Hello,

As I usually do at the end of each year, I upgraded my ConTeXt installation. I noticed a change in \vec behavior which doesn't extend the arrow anymore. Here is my example:

\starttext Engine: \texenginename\ \texengineversion

\ConTeXt: \contextversionnumber

\type{$\vec{AB}$} : $\vec{AB}$ \stoptext

The result with the latest ConTeXt version:

and with the version from a year ago:

I am aware that I could use \overrightarrow, but I prefer the shape and position of the \vec arrow, especially with single letters.

What is the rationale for the change in \vec? Is there a way to get the previous behavior back?

Thanks,

There was a similar thread the other day. \definemathtopaccent[top:stretch][vec]["20D7] seems to work as a temporary solution. Does it give what you expect? I think there will be an update in the next few days. /Mikael
