Ok, I narrowed it down: -------First minimal example----------- \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \setupbackground[background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgray,corner=round,frame=on,framecorner=round,framecolor=red,rulethickness=2pt,topoffset=0.25cm,bottomoffset=0.25cm,leftoffset=0.5cm,rightoffset=0.5cm,before={\blank[big]}] \startbackground \startitemize[packed] \item First question \item Second question \item Third question \stopitemize \stopbackground \stoptext ---------end of first minimal example This works in mk II, but not in mk IV. It seems that start/stopbackground has been deprecated (?). And replaced with \definetextbackground ? -------Second minimal example--------------------- \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \setuptextbackground[background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgray,corner=round,frame=on,framecorner=round,framecolor=red,rulethickness=2pt,topoffset=0.25cm,bottomoffset=0.25cm,leftoffset=0.5cm,rightoffset=0.5cm,before={\blank[big]}] \starttextbackground \startitemize[packed] \item First question \item Second question \item Third question \stopitemize \stoptextbackground \stoptext ---------end of second minimal example----------------------- This "works" in both mk II and mk IV, but compare the background with the one in the first example.

Thank you, Wolfgang. I added the line "\setnewconstant\backgroundsplit\zerocount" to pack-rul.mkiv, AND IT WORKED! This leaves the (not vital for me) question why minimal example 2 (using "setuptextbackground") produces that funny background with the same commands as in "setupbackground".

This works in mk II, but not in mk IV. It seems that start/stopbackground has been deprecated (?). And replaced with \definetextbackground ? The reason is simpler, Hans replaced in MkIV many \newcounter and \chardef definitions with real counters and forgot for the background macros to add

\setnewconstant\backgroundsplit\zerocount

to pack-rul.mkiv.
