Anyplace else, Perfect.

Is this a bug? Is there a CSS workaround (for Personal use only)?
( I have updated the FW about a month ago)
There are some issues where the ends of the descenders for the last line on the screen appear on the next screen, or the tops of the ascenders of the first line appear at the bottom of the previous. Usually it is a particular font and line height combination. I would guess this is sort of related. There are multiple fonts, sizes and line heights involved, so the likelihood of getting this wrong is pretty high. My guess would be that the paragraph line height and font size is used to work out if the line will fit on the screen and they don't compensate for the size of the dropcap. I have no idea if you could fix this with the CSS, but, it wouldn't surprise me if any changes made would break the dropcap itself.

And Jon, I'd expect this to be a problem for both the epub and kepub renderer. If one doesn't suffer from it, then it probably has some other weirdness with the way this is displayed.
