Hello,
As I usually do at the end of each year, I upgraded my ConTeXt installation. I noticed a change in \vec behavior which doesn't extend the arrow anymore. Here is my example:
\starttext Engine: \texenginename\ \texengineversion
\ConTeXt: \contextversionnumber
\type{$\vec{AB}$} : $\vec{AB}$ \stoptext
The result with the latest ConTeXt version:
and with the version from a year ago:
I am aware that I could use \overrightarrow, but I prefer the shape and position of the \vec arrow, especially with single letters.
What is the rationale for the change in \vec? Is there a way to get the previous behavior back?
Thanks,

I certainly hope that this is a bug (and not a "design choice").

There was a similar thread the other day.
\definemathtopaccent[top:stretch][vec]["20D7]
seems to work as a temporary solution. Does it give what you expect?
I think there will be an update in the next few days.
