Can someone tell me if this was corrected?

Thanks!
That may have been one of my posts. I have tried every version of v15.3 (3 so far) that I've seen with EPUB and AdobeViewer. I think the last one I saw (8th Dec) no longer had the Themes problem but using the dictionary was problematic for me. It wasn't highlighting complete words. It also appeared that the hack which allows us to change the default epub fonts would not be possible on the 15.3 version. I'm totally underwhelmed by v15.3 so far.

I reverted to v15.2 each time, which has not crashed on me at all (but has for others). I use EPUB/AdobeViewer exclusively. The only niggly problems I have with v15.2 are:
- selecting words for dictionary look-up do not allow me to highlight the first or last word in a paragraph.
- epub images "balloon" when using zoom-sizes 4-6. 1-3 are fine.
The customised epub font hack works with no problem in v15.2.

I'm told it is possible to install v15.3 then also load the hacked v15.2 AdobeViewer as an alternative. I don't think I'll attempt this until we get a final v15.3 (if ever).
