The same goes for the content, previously the CURRENT chapter was noted, now ALWAYS the first.

Taking the last one first...
Do you mean that after reading the book a bit, and going to at least the second chapter, when you open the Table Of Contents, the tick is against the first chapter in the list? If so, that is not new. That is a bug that came in a while ago. It has been there for at least two years. But, it only affects books were an internal file has more than one ToC entry in. If the book is constructed to have a single ToC entry per internal file, the ToC works correctly. The one-to-one ToC entry-to-file is generally the recommended way to build the book, so it isn't something I hit very often. But, there are some reasons to do it the other way, so the bug is annoying. And I have a test book I keep on my devices specifically to check this when a new firmware version comes out.
For the annotations, it appears that the chapter title stored is affected by a similar bug. For my test book with one internal file and multiple ToC entries, when I made an annotation, no matter were it was in the book, it used the first chapter title. For books with one-to-one ToC entry-to-file construction, the correct chapter is used. I do enough annotations to have noticed if this was not the case. But, as I said, the structure of most of my books means I have one-to-one ToC entry-to-file, and rarely see the other construction. I'd be surprised if this is a new bug, as I think it is related to the ToC bug above. But, I'll put 4.12.12111 on my Aura H2O to check.
Of course, I might have misunderstood what you are talking about. I think I have the annotations part right, but, you haven't given me much to go on with the second bit.
But, the chapter title is
not what @FrustratedReader is talking about. He has only mentioned "Chapter progress" and percentage. I think I'm the only one who has mentioned the chapter title stored with the annotations.
Disclaimer (excluding the last paragraph):
The above is a simple statement of fact. It is based on my experience with Kobo ereaders over the years. It includes some quick tests to confirm things with firmware 4.13.12638 on more than one of my devices. In no way is am I suggesting that this is the right way for it to be done, or that Kobo shouldn't fix bugs found in their software.
