The first one, which uses a lot of complex formatting, shows the problem on almost every page.

The second one is particularly irritating for me, as it's one of my own novels. Look at the Copyright Page, the Dedication, and the beginning of any chapter.

I've provided links to works from a wide variety of commercial publishers (Workman Publishing and Penguin Canada in the two examples above); this is not a case of the firmware tripping up on the quirky formatting done by a single oddball publisher; this is an across-the-board problem.

I hope progress is being made on this.
Has anybody checked what has been broken in the CSS rendering? I mean can anybody provide a FREE (without DRM) test book (or sample) which shows the trouble?

I would like to take a look at it. Maybe it's another issue to add to orphans, widows, page-break- and @page.
