Can you point me at a file in either of these test files where a span isn't closed until the very end? That would be a serious problem and I very much doubt that books would display properly.
With the spans being properly balanced as they are, this would actually not be a good thing  Not saying the way it is now doesn't break highlighting (I've never tried nor has it been reported to me). |
I also have this problem with highlights: if I try to highlight a piece of text that crosses a phrase (e.g. have a '.' in the middle), very often the kobo highlights the text to the end of the chapter.
I didn't had the time to examine this problem but I think that it is very likely that it is caused by the 'extra' span.
I know that it is perfectly legal in HTML, but probably the code that Kobo uses to trace the pieces of text in a kepub doesn't expect it to be like this and so misbehaves.
