When the app doesn't respect text indents of 0 and the scene break is just space, it is very easy to lose when it occurs at the end of the page. Most section breaks that just have space use a top margin of 1em and then a text indent of 0. That's not the correct way to do it. The correct way to do a space only section break is a padding-top of 2em (needs enough space to know it's a section break) and then a text indent of 0. The top margin gets lost when it's at the end of the page. padding doesn't get lost. It carries over to the next page. So you see the space and can easily tell it's a section break.
