I uploaded a fixed-format epub (written in Sigil) to KDP.
1. The pages advance in the wrong direction: swipe left-to-right/tap left instead of the standard swipe right-to-left/tap right.
I thought the issue might be the primary-writing-mode meta tag, which I originally set to horizontal-rl (as per Amazon Kindle Publishing Guidelines). I've since changed that tag to horizontal-lr and have the same issue.
2. My Regional Magnification is wonky. For example, on one page I have text taking up 1/4 of a page vertically, and the rest of the page is illustration. So I split the text into two sections to magnify separately. When I magnify the top half the text from the bottom section shows through the background of the magnification text block. However, when I magnify the bottom section, the text from the top does not show through.
Both sections are using the same div.target-mag element to define the magnification text block. And the code is the same format for the app-amzn-magnify.
This problem occurs on all pages that have this format.
Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong?
I can provide more details/examples of the code if that would help.
Thank you.

I do feel compelled to note that Amazon's basically abandoned their own FXL coded-eBooks and have released Kindle Create, meant to create FXL/Print Replica eBooks in a proprietary way (that displays zero code).
You might find it's far, far less brain-damaging to try that.
Amazon has also made a choice not to allow ANY FXL/Print Replica eBooks on eInks, only Fires, and desktop/other software (browser-based, in other words) readers.
