This is with firmware 3.12.0.

I did see one hyphen in the first line of the first paragraph of a chapter. So I don't know what the bug is since it's not a 100% bug.

If you scrounge around in the forum it is relatively easy (just a line to add in the config file maybe?) to set the device to only refresh every xx pages (up to once every 99 pages). May not be a perfect solution, but if you really like the device otherwise it might get you through until it gets fixed.
EDIT: sorry, just realized you wanted end of chapter so you can anticipate it so this solution likely isn't going to help.
I'm told the fix for the chapter refresh on Aura will be forthcoming in the next release.

No, that bug is in the RMSDK, it won't be fixed until Kobo upgrade to a newer version.

The bug only affects the first line of indented paragraphs. The first line of non-indented paragraphs (such as often occur at the beginning of a chapter) are hyphenated as normal.

Gotcha. So the bug is still there and I've just been lucky so far not to have big gaps in the first line of indented paragraphs.

Workaround: convert to epub first. Kobo handles mobis poorly, we've known that for a long time. Happily, they convert seamlessly to epub.

OK? Your bug report reads "File types: .mobi".

If all of your eBooks are in ePub, why are you trying to read a Mobipocket eBook?

I will solve this mistery for You.

I was reading the MOBI when I found the bug - then I found that epub format is ok. So I switched all my ebooks to epub.

Device: (Bookeen(Gen3|FrontLightHD)|KoboAuraHD)
Product: Aura HD
Firmware: 3.12.1
Plugins: fmon, telnetd and ftpd active (irrelevant); no plugins
File types: n/a
Sideloaded or from Kobobooks: n/a
On external SD: n/a
Steps to reproduce:
  1. Start web browser (either stand-alone or from any book as "search in wikipedia")
  2. Open any wikipedia article
  3. Click on the wiki menu button (top-left corner, those three horizontal lines left of search field)
Current result: Opening the menu either freezes the reader or reboots the reader. In 6 tries it managed to open the menu once, but closing it & reopening froze the reader.
Workaround: E.... don't click that button? Besides, telnet & reboot.

Can anyone confirm that?
Also different fw and devices?
