I do what usually works i.e. place cursor where I want the split to take place & clik on the sigil symbol in menu bar.

but it creates an empty split file and leaves the entire contents still on the file that I was trying to split.

is this a program bug, or an issue with my book. ....

i try a different book & split works as it should - very strange

seems to only happen in this one book & when I split in apparent white space , at left hand margin, before a chapter number

e.g.

end of chapter 23 text
[whitespace]
[more whtespace]
24

the bug is when I try to split anywhere in that "whitespace" above the line that says 24 in this code

Code:

<p class="calibre12"></p><br class="calibre1" />
    <br class="calibre1" />
    <a class="calibre8" id="filepos328697"></a>

    <p class="calibre11"><span class="calibre5"><span class="bold">24</span></span></p>

I see nothing unusual about the code , except that it seems mostly redundant- any ideas on why split is not working here ?

if i back up slightly - put cursor to the right of preceeding text line & split there - all is OK. but move cursor to whitespace between there3 and the next chapter number and it's broke again.
