Hi folks- very longtime lurker. I love the software. Kudos to Kovid Goyal for keeping it going for this long, and for keeping it free. It's thanks to him I get to use the best ereader hardware out there without any of the compromises or sacrifices amazon would otherwise force on us. So, I'm very grateful.
My issue:
Recently, using version 2.82 on OS X, I have been converting ePubs into AZW3 format to be used on my Oasis. Every so often, the bottom half of a page will be blank. If I advance the page, a whole paragraph or more of text will have been skipped. However, if I then go backwards one page, the missing text appears, and in the correct place.
Sort of a strange problem, but I can't figure it out. Appreciate any thoughts.
Thanks all
Edit: I found the below discussion of this issue, but no solution. (Note, I am running Running 5.8.7.0.1 and still have the issue described below.)

At first I thought it was a problem with the ebook (epub converted to azw3 using KindleGen), but then it happened with two more ebooks. Looking at the html in each book reveals nothing unusual.
Restarting my Oasis will temporarily fix it, but then it will start happening again with greater and greater frequency until I restart again.
I have just reset my Oasis and will see if that helps, but wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. This has never happened to me before on my Oasis or Voyage. Just started with this latest update.
Thanks for any insights.
