Moonreader Pro - Two different footnote/link behaviors in epub

In Moonreader sometimes footnote links ‘jump’ to a different part of the text and at other times the footnote link just brings up the note (in a nice yellow "sticky note", as of the last update) without jumping you around -- in what's brought up you have the option to 'open' the destination which then takes you there. For me a book full of footnotes in the former style is borderline unreadable as it’s too easy to be moved to different parts of the text. I’ve been looking and looking at hrefs in html and epub, But I did not understand figure out what causes a link to do one rather than the other.

Some solutions in this regard?
Thanks

I couldn't figure it out either. I think it sometimes has something to do with the placement of the id tag in the referenced code, but not always.

causes "jump":

<p class="footnote" id="note15"><a class="color" href="act01a.html#note_15">

causes sticky note:

<p class="footnote"><a class="color" href="act01a.html#note_15" id="note15">

So you can edit the book and use a complicated regex replacement to change one to the other. Unfortunately this doesn't always work!!!

There is also two different behaviors (sticky note/jump) on the new Calibre 5 ebook reader on laptop/desktop, so maybe the Calibre developers know something about this.

If you figure anything out let me know.

I'll answer you in Italian, because I have bad English.

Se converti, con calibre, un file word in epub, correttamente formattato con note di chiusura o note a piè di pagina, Moon reader leggerà correttamente quelle note, attraverso un Pop-up.

Invece ancora non ho capito il comportamento di Moon, quando le note sono create con un collegamento ipertestuale. In questo caso Moon a volte le riconosce correttamente e usa il Pop-up altre volte, invece, salta alla pagina del riferimento.

Secondo me il problema risiede nel collegamento stesso. Cioè se il collegamento ipertestuale si riferisce soltanto al numero della nota funziona. Invece se il collegamento ipertestuale si riferisce ad un testo formattatato su più righe, Moon non lo ricosce come nota e quindi salta alla pagina del riferimento.

Hope you have understood.

Let me know if you have any news.

For me, it seems to be based on length of the annotation. If the footnote is too long, in their opinion, then it takes me to the footnote section and I have to click a blue arrow to get back.
