But don't footnotes usually pop up so that when you dismiss them you are still on the same page?
Sometimes - I think it depends on the internals of the html of the footnotes. Also, sometimes a long footnote can go on for several pages, in which case the pop up doesn't work very well.

I read a fair amount of non-fiction, often with long footnotes. I love the way the (former I guess) back arrow just handles them, and returns directly to the source of the link instead of backing up page-by-page through a long footnote, as some readers I've used did.

My PW4 will stay in airplane mode until this is sorted out.
