I mean, when I hit "close" it becomes a blac box and when effectively closing, the text that was under that box is very pale grey on white background (quite unreadible). The only way to get it right again is to turn a page and go back again. And what is most surprising is that it's not every time I pop a footnote. I just can't tell wich time it will appear and which time all will work well. (Too bad it's the second series of books I read that are just full of footnotes...)
I think exactly how bad it is depends on when the last full refresh was done. The more pages since it was done, the worse the leftovers. But, I have to admit I have read so few books with footnotes, I don't notice it. And, as an alternative to paging back and forth, tap the screen to bring up the menu and then tap it again to close the menu. That's basically a double-tap. A full refresh will be done when the menu is closed.
