Yes I keep hoping it will get fixed with each release, as it seems such an obvious bug to me. I hope this thread will raise its prominence so Kris will please investigate and fix it.
In switching between portrait and landscape, Marvin seems to be reflowing the text from the beginning of the section/chapter, and this is when the current reading position is lost. It is not always idempotent when you cycle landscape to portrait to landscape. For example:
- Start in landscape: "6 pages left in This section".
- Rotate to portrait: "Last page in This section".
- Rotate to landscape: "10 pages left in This section".
It now settles down between last page (portrait) and 10 pages left (landscape). We can see that the difference in location is not minor: as much as 10 pages in this example, which can make finding your last reading position quite tricky.
I sometimes read in portrait and sometimes in landscape, so it would be really great to have this fixed. Even for people who only read in one mode, this bug could catch them out if they accidentally rotate their iThing when Marvin is open.
