I can't recall this ever having happened to me, and I have been reading books since I discovered the Rochester NH library in 1941. At two a week, that would be 7,696 books, or call it 7,500 to allow for the times I've slowed the pace.

I've never had it happen in a paper book, but it happens frequently enough in ebooks that I now edit any book with the margin-top method of making scene breaks and change it to padding-top instead. Not an ideal solution, but easy to do.
