Did you specifically test these two features after your manual edits? or did you only look at text appearance, i.e. word/letter spacing?
AFAICT Jon did what he typically does, had someone else try this out. Of course what is conveniently being left out is that that user also uses patches, including I believe your word spacing one, and the WebKit config file option. Oh and that this user has had a problematic device for awhile though I’m not sure if they got a replacement yet.

So it’s not even a case of removing kobo spans resolved the issue. It’s removing them and taking several other steps seems to have done so in a single test case which was extremely limited being that it was one passage from one ebook of one user.

I may be wrong, though given that Jon is only now pronouncing this as a fix rather than at any point before when kobo spans were mentioned makes me suspect I’m correct.
