'Back' issue
I find it difficult to make a fully relevant title for this bug I (think) found, so I will describe it (v.0.9.39).
  1. Activate the option "Remember the current page when quitting".
  2. Start viewing an e-book which has end-of-book references.
  3. Go to a page where there is a reference (but not a page that is page-breaked i.e. not first page in a chapter).
  4. Close the viewer.
  5. Start viewing the e-book again (you are still on the page with the reference).
  6. Click the reference.
  7. Click the 'Back' button and ... you're not on the right page! (but at the start of the current chapter)

Is this happening only to me?

This is probably the fault of the Book (link and anchor).

ADE(MRSDK) only remembers the start of the page Block when resuming, not the paragraph or even screen that was showing.
OTOH bookmarks seem to remember the screen offset.

I failed to mention in the first place that if I browse pages and retry the references, the 'Back' action performs flawlessly.
The problem I described appears only when the first action on the viewer is accessing the reference.

So to be clear, what you are saying is that if the viewer opens to a page with a link on it and you then click the link, the back button does not work? However, if you first turn a page or two and then click a link, the back button does work?
