If you look at the underline while the menu is displayed, the space before the sentence is selected. That's the problem. The kepub format has spans wrapping each sentence. But, the space between sentences isn't included. When selecting text, if start or end of the selection is at a different level of the spans, the highlight won't get saved. In this case, the space is outside the spans and that causes a problem.
Hmm, ok, I will check for this when doing the highlights, thanks.

Kind of surprised that there is not more mentioning of this. I can't be the only one reading a lot of non-fiction on sideloaded kepubs.

The simplest way is to look in the config file on the device. Look for the line with "readingFontSize". But, that is roughly what I am using.
32

Another thought is to look for a stack dump on the device. This will be in the .kobo directory and have the name "stack_nn.log" where "nn" is two digits. These can be produced by the firmware when there is a problem. If there is one, it can give a hint of what is going on, but we can also give it to Kobo to look at.
No such logs.

Thanks,
