* Annotations are listed as being in the first chapter in the file instead of the chapter the annotation is actually in.
* The tick mark in the device's TOC remains beside the first chapter in the file instead of advancing to the current chapter.
* The chapter name displayed on the navigation menu is the first chapter in the file, not the current chapter.
* The navigation chapter-back << and chapter-forward >> controls don't work properly, although I can often make them work by tapping the << or >> icon twice in quick succession.

None of these problems occur in ePubs where there is one file for each chapter, and all of these things worked correctly not too many firmware versions ago (3.16.0 was okay I think?) even for ePubs that have multiple chapters in one file.
I've seen the second and reported it to Kobo with a sample book. The others all sound like symptoms of the same underlying problem. I'll test and add them to my report.

As to when it started, I agree that 3.16.0 was OK and 3.18.0 is the first time I noticed it. From something that Kobo said about changes on the beta list, it wouldn't surprise me if it started with 3.16.10. I'm almost willing to try 3.17.3, but there's no way I'm going back to 3.16.10.
