user manual scrolling

Dick Lowman · 02-07-2021, 07:55 AM

I'm not sure where to post this. I'm unable to use the Calibre online user manual. When I open, I'm viewing the calibre User Manual (5.10.1), top of document, where the screen shows "The Trouble With Physics", etc. When I scroll down to read, the document goes a little ways and then jumps back to the top of the screen. Clicking on a menu item on the left does the same, jumps back to the top of the screen. I've tried changing the mouse, no difference. Using Mac os Mojave, 10.14.4. Safari version 12.1. Cannot find anything in this forum where others have had that problem.

I'm confused, the user manual has no section naed the trouble with physics.

After posting this it occurred to me to try another browser. The User Manual does work and does scroll in Chrome. Apparently the problem is a disconnect with Safari.

I'm still learning this system. Hopefully I've attached a screen shot of the opening page of the user manual that mentions "Physics." And this is the page that keeps coming back in Safari.

Sorry to have bothered you.

Taht is just a Title in a SAMPLE screenshot. No wonder Kovid did not get the reference.

Ah I see, but the scrolling is working fine on safari on my mac running Big Sur. Tried scrolling by using two finger gesture on the touchpad.
