Hi Hans, This bug was reported by Wolfgang Schuster a few months ago, but it persists: line numbering in verbatim is broken in mkiv (it works as expected in mkii). Minimal example: \setuptyping[numbering=line] \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \startframedtext[frame=off,background=color,backgroundcolor=darkyellow] \starttyping one two three \stoptyping \stopframedtext \stoptext Thanks for your attention: OK
