Hi, since the latest upload, ConTeXt no longer applies kerning across discretionary nodes: \starttext \setbox0\hbox{V\-a} \showboxdepth\maxdimen \showboxbreadth\maxdimen \tracingonline1 \showbox0 \stoptext used to show > \box0= \hbox(8.1915+0.25186)x13.69647, direction TLT .<1: lmroman12-regular @ 12.0pt> V .\discretionary (penalty 50) ..< <1: lmroman12-regular @ 12.0pt> - ..= \kern-0.98346 (font) .<1: lmroman12-regular @ 12.0pt> a but now changed to > \box0= \hbox(8.1915+0.25186)x14.67993, direction TLT .<1: lmroman12-regular @ 12.0pt> V .\discretionary (penalty 50) ..< <1: lmroman12-regular @ 12.0pt> - .<1: lmroman12-regular @ 12.0pt> a This seems like a regression. Best regards, Marcel

Hi,
since the latest upload, ConTeXt no longer applies kerning across discretionary nodes: actually a rather old bug, but that it surfaces now is a side effect of some experimental optimzxiation that makes us end up in another injector branch
