Specific ePub - can't scroll past end of sections

ownedbycats · 08-17-2020, 06:56 PM

I was cleaning up the Calibre metadata for some of my ePubs and came across a strange issue with a specific one. (Unfortunately, it's copyright, so I can't post it.)

I can scroll to the end of each section (using either my preferred arrow keys or the scrollwheel). However, at the end of each section, I'm unable to scroll any further, and have to use Go To > Next Section or the TOC. I'm able to scroll to the previous chapter.

This behaviour doesn't happen in the Calibre 3.48 viewer.

So far, I've tried converting epub > epub and running Epub-Checker on it (it found one error in the CSS, which I fixed).

Any other suggestions on what the issue might be?

EDIT: Converting to MOBI and back fixed the issue.

I have also the same problem with a few e-books. I have looked with the e-book editor but I can't find any difference against books not having this problem.

One section is about 1.3 pages long. When a enlage the reader window to cover the whole page I can scroll to the next section!

Any idea whats going on?
