MWE: ============== % ConTeXt ver: 2023.09.26 18:19 LMTX \setupmarginrule[1][rulecolor=darkred] \definesidebar[Sidebar][rulethickness=0.28pt,distance=3pt,rulecolor=darkgreen] \setupsidebar[rulecolor=darkgreen] \starttext \startmarginrule[1] \input ward \stopmarginrule \blank \startsidebar[Sidebar] \input zapf \stopsidebar \stoptext ============== In the output, either i) the rules do not appear at all (most attempts); or ii) the rules appear for a split-second then disappear (using sumatrapdf as the viewer, so the pdf updates on the fly). Is this a bug? maybe your viewer is bugged Before sending to the list, I tested the pdf in sumatra (default), adobe, and nitropdf - same result. If three distinct viewers don't show it, then something else must be wrong. Could you open the pdf I sent to the list? What do you see?
