Hi Hans,
I found out that the issue I wrote about in my previous message is about
widow and orphan lines.
Here is the sample:
\showframe\showgrid
\setuplayout[setups=*lessstrict]
\startsetups[*lessstrict]
\setup[reset]
\widowpenalty=10000
\clubpenalty=10000
\stopsetups
\setupbodyfont[pagella,15pt]
\starttext
\chapter{Chapter}
\section{Section}
\dorecurse{103}{\ConTeXt\ is fun! }
\subsection{Subsection}
\ConTeXt\ is fun!
\stoptext
Many thanks for your excellent work,
Pablo
