Nonetheless, I still wonder why only a small number of epub books show this partial lines problem in flow mode. The vast majority never exhibit this problem in flow mode, so I guess there must be something in the problematic epub files that provokes the problem which distinguishes them from the problem-free epubs.
As to DNSB's suggestion that it might be related to embedding fonts. I generally embed several of my favorite fonts in the epub files in order to make the reading experience more pleasing, and still hardly any epub books show this problem. So I don't think it might be related to the fonts that are used in the book.

What happens if you don't use embedded fonts? What happens if you remove all embedded fonts and use a default font? That would be my very first troubleshooting step, so...can you tell us?
