Problem setting bookmarks

paperback · 11-21-2022, 01:58 PM

There seems to be a problem setting bookmarks in Calibre 6.8.

The trigger seems to be a style declaration * {line-height: 140%;}. It worked OK before but now it's not possible to set a bookmark at the current location. Deleting the style declaration seems to restore correct functioning.

What do you mean by its not possible, what ahppens when you set a bookmark? And opena bug report and attach a book reproducing the problem.

To reproduce the issue:

1. Download, say, "The Voyages of Dr. Dolittle" from Standard ebooks.
2. Add a style rule to the Calibre Viewer – line-height: 140%.
3. Add a bookmark to a few random pages in the ebook, preferably in the middle of chapters (right click on the page and choose "Bookmarks; or press Ctrl+ B).
4. Go to another page, then try to return to a bookmarked page (press Ctrl+B and click on a bookmark title)

Actual result: You return to another page not bookmarked.

If you delete the style rule, the problem disappears.

Works fine for me. Note that in paged mode if you change the size of the text area or the line height or the font size the pages are redistributed, so whatever page you bookmarked originally will no longer exist, and the book mark will take you to a page that contains some text from the original page, at best.
