Hi, This bug refers to an old (or ancient!) version of Calibre. If you're running Debian 10 (Stretch), please update this bug by confirming if it exists in calibre-2.75.1+dfsg-1 (version in Debian 9/Stretch). If that version is bad, please enable stretch-backports and confirm whether 3.31.0+dfsg-1~bpo9+1 is affected. Alternatively, if you're running buster/sid, please confirm if 3.39.1+dfsg-1 is affected. Thanks! Nicholas signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Bug#696657: calibre: in fullscreen mode, going backwards at the beginning of chapter goes too far
Package: calibre Version: 0.8.51+dfsg-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, Perfectly reproducible(at least with the(sadly non-free) eBook I've got), and only seems to be an issue when in fullscreen mode: move to the beginning of a chapter use the up arrow, or page up, or mousewheel scroll up -- instead of moving to the last page, the screen jumps to the beginning of the previous chapter. this in itself isn't a terrible thing except it's hard to know when you're at the *end* of a chapter -- as soon as you get to the end of the chapter, without warning, page-down/down-arrow/mousewheel-scroll-down loads the beginning of the next chapter. Trying to backtrack after doing this results in going to the beginning of the previous chapter. It's painful to have to go back multiple times through a chapter to try to guestimate where the end of the chapter is, exactly. There's many ways of resolving this (adding more space and a special symbol at the end of chapters...making it so that the fullscreen mode scrolling is the same as non-fullscreen mode, and so on) but either way it should not force the user to go all the way through a chapter multiple times to figure out where the last sentence in a chapter is. It should work more like a book, where to reach the last page of the previous chapter should be trivial. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages calibre depends on: ii calibre-bin 0.8.51+dfsg-1+b1 ii imagemagick 8:6.7.7.10-5 ii poppler-utils 0.18.4-4 ii python-beautifulsoup 3.2.1-1 ii python-chardet2.0.1-2 ii python-cherrypy3 3.2.2-2 ii python-cssutils 0.9.10~b1-1 ii python-dateutil 1.5+dfsg-0.1 ii python-dbus 1.1.1-1 ii python-feedparser 5.1.2-1 ii python-imaging1.1.7-4 ii python-lxml 2.3.2-1 ii python-mechanize 1:0.2.5-3 ii python-pkg-resources 0.6.24-1 ii python-pyparsing 1.5.6+dfsg1-2 ii python-qt44.9.3-4 ii python-routes 1.13-2 ii python2.7 2.7.3~rc2-2.1 ii ttf-liberation1.07.2-6 ii xdg-utils 1.1.0~rc1+git20111210-6 Versions of packages calibre recommends: ii python-dnspython 1.10.0-1 calibre suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
