MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Bug when changing the speed when using the Read Aloud feature

Just upgraded to the latest version (9.5) (Win 11)

When I am using Calibre's Viewer I frequently use the Read Aloud to listen as I read along or do other things

Today I wanted to change the reading speed as I was doing something else and wanted to slow down the speed so I could follow along better.

BUT when I clicked the "turtle" to slow down the speed, the text also jumped to the next chapter.

I thought I had miss clicked something and scrolled back to where I was.

But, when I finished and resumed reading and listening again, I sped it back up (I read fast) and it happened again. Clicking the "rabbit" also jumped to the next chapter of the book

This occurs across multiple books and occurs every time.

I upgraded from 8.16.1 so don't know if it was occurring in versions before 9.5.
