Hi,
I am facing two minor issues with text backgrounds, both demonstrated in
the example below:
* If the background starters in the middle of the last line of a page,
the highlight extends down the end of the page in a full horizontal
line. (See end of page 1 in the output.)
* It seems that characters extending into the margin are not
highlighted. (See ‘anim’ on page 2 in the output.)
Is there a way to change the behaviour of the text background to correct
the above two points?
```
\setuppapersize[A7]
\definetextbackground[highlight][
background=color,
backgroundcolor=yellow,
]
\starttext

\stoptext
It doesn't extend, but it's an overfull line, use
\setupalign[tolerant]
