Hans, thanks, works as expected!

(also, use names like \Sln so that there will never be conflicts with 
existing macros; i wouldnot be surprised if there will be a math 
function sln some day)

Darn, caught in the act! Promise I will be a good boy next time ;-)

Thanks

Hi all,
though I'm not 100 \% certain, I think this behavior came up in the latest 
release of ConTeXt. For my manuscripts for talks, I have defined a nice 
little counter like this

\newcounter\slidecounter
\define\sln{\increment\slidecounter \color[red]{[\slidecounter]} }
which allows me to just type \sln when I want to mark a spot where I want 
to show a new slide, and it will give the number in red, between brackets. 
OK, this has been working for quite a while, but recently, I have observed 
a strange behavior: if I use the command within an itemize-group, it will 
count normally, but after the \stopitemize, the counter will be reset to 
the value before the itemization. I can't swear to it, but I'm reasonably 
certain that this wasn't the case before. Is it possible that something 
was broken, Hans?

Best wishes (especially to our new fellow-citizens)
use \doglobal\increment instead
(also, use names like \Sln so that there will never be conflicts with 
existing macros; i wouldnot be surprised if there will be a math function 
sln some day)
