Yes, I think that's likely, but it is certain to happen more now, with "Book preview," which I think is due to be perceived differently than the old "Book View." This is merely, of course, a perception on my part, as to how other people, particularly noobs, will comprehend what "Book Preview" means. Maybe we need a disclaimer? e.g., "This displays HTMLX.X, and not necessarily what ADE, etc., will display." Something.

Italic/bold display issues were due to Qt4. With Sigil using Qt5 this isn't an issue now (although its caused other issues).
Good. I only knew about it because I received a fairly hysterical phone call from a client that wanted to know why we'd taken all the (extensive) italics out of his book--he was viewing it with Calibre. Needless to say, I was less than ecstatic about the call. And it's hard to convince people that the evidence of their own eyes is false. ;-)
