I discussed this with you many times... Even if Goyal intended to do this (and this is a big concession), this behavior is not conformant with HTML and EPUB 2 specs. If something must work in A way and on the contrary it acts in B way, it's a bug. An enhancement is adding some other functionality. There's nothing more to say.
I can sound repetitive, but as I said to Goyal and to Doctor Ohh, if someone can prove me this is not a bug telling me about HTML or EPUB documentations, ok, I can stop the "whining". |

Ignore HTML specs; they are NOT at all relevant to ePubs.
The ONLY relevant ones are ePub 2 as far as calibre is concerned. Please post the relevant portions of the ePub specs where this is stated as REQUIRED functionality as opposed to OPTIONAL. |

So the viewer have to be conformant to CSS2 for the "position" property, or it should not support it at all, considering "position:relative" as "position:static". This could be a quick and easy solution, but IMHO it's not a good solution. Last edited by Lucas Malor; 10-29-2013 at 02:48 PM. |

I would have bet on it.

Calibre has two modes, not one. And one of them does not work with the testcase. Yes, page mode does not work with the testcase, you can't say it's designed to work this way, it does not work. And it's not me that says it does not work, CSS soecs says it does not work. Read my previous post, since I could bet you've not read it. Quote:
I want to add that I was not trying to impose some additional work to Goyal. He's free to decide to fix the bug or not, thanks to Gods. I was simply trying to understand if the problem was a bug or not, and I wanted to report it. If I was sarcastic it was a response to sarcasm. But please do not try to offend my intelligence. I'm too much sensitive for this and my doctor told me to avoid tirades on ebook readers. Last edited by Lucas Malor; 10-30-2013 at 04:44 AM. |

What I have attempted to convey is that you have "reported the bug." The act of reporting "the bug" concluded on page 1 of this thread. In post 8 you acknowledged a perfectly fine solution to your problem by using flow mode. In post 13 you layed out clearly the circumstances to recreate "the bug". Since post 13 you have engaged in a campaign of whining about "the bug." Nobody cares what you call it. You have a solution and the developer is aware of how to replicate "the bug." Your job as bug-reporter-in-chief is over, move on. Last edited by DoctorOhh; 10-30-2013 at 05:44 AM. |

This is an interesting point of view, let me explain mine.
My point of view is that I discussed about my problem, Calibre bug or not, until post #19. After that post you dragged me in an off-topic discussion, trying to irritate me saying I'm whining. Do you know how can you translate this in jargon? Why I don't simply use the flow mode? Well, it's axiomatic: because I opened this thread to discuss about this problem, which affects page mode. Everything I say about it is in-topic and it complies with the thread, the subforum and the forum. So, if you're not interested about the topic, as you demonstrated when you said you not even opened the testcase, you are free to write something else in some other thread. It's a complete waste of time to discuss about something you're not interested at all, no? On the contrary, if you will want to write something pertinent, you'll be kindly welcome.
