The behaviour you described is not a bug at all. It behaves as it should. Part of the page that was shown on the previous screen is shown as grayed out. It doesn't matter if it was shown as black or grayed out - if it was shown on previous screen, it will be grayed out on the current one. That's how it was intended to work. Pictures show that that's exactly the case. If you don't want to see gray text when going backwards, just turn overlap shading off before it, and turn it back on before you go forward again. Or, press backward once more, and then forward once. It might be a bit difficult to switch overlap on and off on K4NT, but it's only 1 key on K3, and quite easily usable.

Overlap shading is not useless if the comics mode is off, because Librerator overlaps 30 pixels by default. Meaning, 30 pixels from the bottom of the previous view will be on top of the next view. (Remember, Overlap shading grays out what was shown on previous screen). Depending on the font, sometimes it will be 1 line, sometimes 3, sometimes 1 and a half - so overlap shading helps find where to continue reading to the people that want it.

As I already explained, both Comics mode and Overlap shading have independent uses, and having one automatically turn on or off the other is not a good idea. You shouldn't assume that what works for you would work for everyone else.

I, for example, don't use Overlap shading, and always use Comics mode. I pan down early, on paragraph break. Depending on the text, this is not always possible. So sometimes, very rarely, I turn Overlap shading on for just a second, to see where I was, then turn it immediately off. It's quite easy to do this on K3.

Other people, for example, don't like comics mode. Especially if they mostly read novels. Some of them might still prefer overlap shading.

To each his own.
