it is not reasonable software design to create a situation where turning from last page of (split) chapter x to 1st page of chapter x+1 causes a 300+ page count jump. I found that I could go FORWARD one page and according to kobo I'd gone from page 1200+ back to page 900+
and in one case for sure, this is how the retail epub was published, it's not that calibre has introduced the splits in order to maintain some 260k or whatever limit. I've a feeling I have an Anne Rice book somewhere that also was published with splits in very long chapters. If an author wants a 200 page chapter, they should be able to have one without the publisher's screwing up

When you go from this split chapter to the next chapter, does the page number become correct? My guess is that they are getting the page number the same sort of way they are getting the chapter number (via the ToC) and since this split has no ToC entry, the software is a bit confused. I do agree that this is a bug (page number being wrong).
