Japanese text cut before colons

Hello,

I just installed KOReader (2026.03) for the first time on my Kobo Clara BW.

I tried to read a bit of a book and found that some text isn't displayed, and it seems to only happen when there is a colon (:) character.
Is this a known issue? I am able to work around it by setting a huge left margin, but that's not ideal as most lines become very offset.

I attached photos of a page illustrating this issue with a small and large left margin, and a render of the same section in Apple Books for reference.

I didn't think about taking a photo with the official Kobo reader. Here it is.

And here's the corresponding HTML and CSS:

Code:
<div class="h-indent-2em1">
<p class="calibre"><br class="calibre1"/></p>
<p class="calibre">  <span class="gfont">アイテム名:クマセット</span></p>
</div>
<div class="h-indent-6em">
<p class="calibre">   <span class="gfont">右手:黒クマの手袋(譲渡不可)</span></p>
<p class="calibre">   <span class="gfont">左手:白クマの手袋(譲渡不可)</span></p>
<p class="calibre">   <span class="gfont">右足:黒クマの靴(譲渡不可)</span></p>
<p class="calibre">   <span class="gfont">左足:白クマの靴(譲渡不可)</span></p>
</div>
<div class="h-indent-5em">
<p class="calibre">   <span class="gfont">服:黒白クマの服(譲渡不可)</span></p>
</div>
<p class="calibre"><br class="calibre1"/></p>
<p class="calibre"> 早くゲームを開始したいが馬鹿げた景品のせいで思考が止まる。</p>
Code:
.h-indent-6em {
    display: block;
    height: auto;
    text-indent: -6em;
    width: auto;
    padding: 6em 0 0;
    margin: 0
    }
I can see why `text-indent` with a negative value can cause this issue. Is there a way to fix it without patching the epub?

I found a solution!

Render Mode: book in the bottom menu.
