Hi, consider this example: \startsetups [empty] \stopsetups \starttext % \setuplayout[lines=7,grid=yes,setups=empty] \showgrid \setuplayout[lines=7,grid=yes] \showgrid \dorecurse{2}{\input ward \endgraf} \page \stoptext If you use the other setuplayout line, the result is different. Why? Feature or bug? Patrick
