Do you mean the chapter starts at the top of the next screen? If so, that is almost definitely not a bug. It is in the design of the book. This happens for two reasons.

The epub text is split into multiple files. Each file will always start at the top of the screen. The most common way to split the files is at chapter.

It can also be due to styles within the epub. The styles on any element can be set to force a page break. Setting this for chapter headings isn't unexpected.

As to Kobo's settings for widows and orphans. The default in the spec is either 2 or 3. To me, Kobo should respect this.
