On the other hand, I can understand how this would be annoying to people who what to use the FullScreenReading setting and really don't like seeing the refresh.

I don't use the feature because it is having some problems, but as far as I know my old Sony does the page refresh also with every page turn,but it didn't do it before on the Kobo at every pageturn,and reading can be experienced a bit slower...and if you fiddle around a bit,it turns off the refresh all the way..

I don't insist on that,but if you see how much is taken from a page and converted to blanc space while reading kepubs and you know there is a setting to get all this space back,even when unsupported,I can understand why people like it.

It's an open forum so anyone who wants to complain,can do it.
But following your logic, if people can't call it a bug, they call it a beatle and then it is okay for you to discuss about it ??
It do is important that it is known because a lot of people use it and it now have another behavior then before.
The patches of GeoffR are also unsupported by Kobo, but after every new update from Kobo,most people here are waiting installing it until GeoffR release the new patches.
Why ??
And imho,when even with a undocumented setting when sudden strange things happening in a device,you can call it a bug.
Because for further developement of the feature it can be important to know what happens and why,and it now reacts with the unsupported fullscreen,but it can also react with other related things that might occur.
If there must be a discussion about everything found/supported or unsupported,to call it a bug or not,then this forum can be closed for 80%.
Calibre isn't also supported by Kobo, all the plugins are not supported by Kobo.. so then we could not react on anything,and stop using it because it isn't supported ?
If Kobo would look at the patches and learn from it why we use it,and change their firmware in that way so we would not use them anymore,we would all be ready and content.. here we say , with the word IF, you could place the whole world in a bottle..
For GeoffR it is important to know some answers,and a lot of people depend on him,and trust him to turn the reader in something usable.
I don't think it is fair to discuss if he calls it a bug or not.
