Calibre not displaying ebook correctly
Top left: Book opened in ibooks
Top right: book opened in calibre
Bottom: book opened in calibre editor

Got a book that displays incorrectly in calibre but I can't pin down what's the cause of the problem.

Looks okay in editor. Any ideas?

I suspect Top Margins are negative , thus the overlap

Hard to say just looking at screenshots. Attach an extract from the book, that reproduces the problem.

Thanks, I've attached two chapters including the stylesheet. In both, calibre shows the heading overlapping the text as shown the first screenshot.

I opened the same book in Adobe, Ehon, Kitabu, & ibooks. Book looked okay in all of these. So I think it might be the calibre viewer at fault.

Ty kovidgoyal. My code-fu isn't the best, not sure how I'd apply the change but is this a commit that will eventually come through a patch?

Ultimately knowing its not an issue with the file satisfies me.

That is Kovids way of saying it is committed to the next release (and is available NOW if you run from source)
