Question Fixed layout text display bug

I'm working on a fixed layout epub in Sigil designed for iBooks. I've noticed a funny glitch that occurs when I view the file on the iPad - letter/word spacing seems to adjust when turning the pages. Sometimes it carries words over to the next line and sometimes it just appears to widen the letter spacing slightly.

I've taken a short video to demonstrate – it doesn't pick up the more minute jumps but you can see it happening on screen. Has anyone else encountered this problem? I have introduced forced line breaks in places where words carry over and this seems to work, but I haven't found a solution to stop the letter spacing glitch.

Since Sigil is no longer being developed in any way including bug fixes, you might find more help with getting an answer in the Apple forum. This sounds like an epub3 question and Sigil is an epub2 editor.
