Hello,

the printing shop wants me to make the columnsetarea bleeding[1] (3mm).
However, the background stops at the edge of the a4paper and doesn't
even fill the margin.

Here's a minimal example:

% \startminimalexample
\setuppapersize[A4][A3]
\setuplayout[backspace=2cm,width=middle,
  offset=0mm,
  topspace=0cm,height=middle,
  location=middle,
  marking=on,
  grid=yes,
]

\setupcolors[state=start]

\startuniqueMPgraphic{contrast}
fill OverlayBox withcolor white ;
fill OverlayBox withcolor transparent(1,.25,red) ;
fill OverlayBox withcolor transparent(1,.25,yellow) ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[contrast][\useMPgraphic{contrast}]

\showframe

\starttext
\definecolumnset[mycolumnset][n=2]

\definecolumnsetarea
[einschub][left]
[x=1,y=1,nx=4,ny=20,page=2,
background=contrast,align={hi,right},state=start]

\startcolumnset[mycolumnset]

\dorecurse{15}{\input tufte\par}

\stopcolumnset

\page
\showsetups

\stoptext
% \stopminimalexample


Thanks in advance,
 olli
