Display problems in book viewer

I'm running the latest version of Calibre on Linux: version 3.10

If I jump forward in a book, the viewer loses its brains for wrapping text. Each paragraph becomes one long line that disappears off to the right of the viewer, never to be wrapped. This is a repeatable problem.

Example:

Book: "Relic", by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child
Open in viewer: Progress indicator at upper left of viewer displays "1.0/728"
Overwrite "1.0/728" with "300", hit enter, to jump to page 300 of the book
Note that text does not wrap
Note that purple "Next Page" button does not advance page
Randomly jump around in book using vertical scrollbar on right of viewer
After a bit of random jumping, wrapping starts to work again

This happens in other books too, I just picked "Relic" as an example since it's a commonly found book that others may well have to test for themselves.

The two attached screenshots below illustrate the "no wrap" error case, and the "correct wrap" case (after jumping around randomly and returning to page 300).
