So basically after an upgrade, everything seems to be working apart from the fonts window which when clicked won't disappear and would remain on the screen (the fonts themselves can be changed and are changed when chosen, but the pop-up itself doesn't disappear/close and remains on the screen).

Anyway, (not sure if needed) but I have successfully uploaded and installed JailBreak-1.14.N-FW-5.x-hotfix.

Also, I have just noticed that when I open a book for the second time it opens with a blank white screen. any book. So firstly after a reboot, everything seems to be working and then if you go to the Home menu and re=open the same book again it would be a blank screen.

Any ideas how to fix these issues?

Thanks..
Thanks for starting a thread for this specific problem.

In the first pair of posts (question and reply) we determined the model and the firmware version in question.
And what we know at this point:

The problem has not been reported in the past, at least not in my recollection. (Which might be a problem with my memory, but then ...)

I do have that model of Kindle, which is running that version of the firmware and I do not have any fonts that behave as described.

You have coolreader installed, do you have anything else installed from here?
One of our font add-ins perhaps.

If yes, did you re-install them after the update and re-installation of the "hotfix"? (which was the correct thing to do by the way.)
If no, then re-install everything you got from here and then see if the font selection thing has the same problem.
(Only the jail break is protected during version updates, everything else should always be re-installed.)

Do you have anything installed from somewhere else?
Perhaps Dorkian?
(If you don't know what that is, then you probably don't have it installed)
