Odd behavior from Libra 2

[JSWolf]

I'll give my Libra 2 a test with the buttons. I have it set for a 20 minute sleep time.

2) While the device was charging from a normal USB-C charger the screen went blank and three dots appeared, blinking in order. I unplugged and it went back to the usual sleeping screen. Wifi is off. This only happened once.

Did the white LED in the corner come on? (it is restarting). I get this about once a week, usually after just adding books (USB).

Page turns depend on the OPF and NCX matching the book (Edits and resending do not update anything except the book.) Use Kobo utilities to force a New TOC and or Metadata into the DB

I can't recall ever having the white LED come on after adding books (USB). My reboot experience while charging has only happened once.

The double page turn glitches are unusual. I would have thought if there's that sort of mismatch they would be more common. In any event, have you (or others) had them stop after using KU to force a new TOC or metadata?

I've seen this several times. Most of the times just after I did transfer (via calibe) a book and then left the USB-C connection plugged-in in order to charge. After a few minutes the KLC starts rebooting.

Does the page-turning issue also happen when swiping, or only with the buttons? I don't see anyone brought up the suggestion that the button itself might be a bit dodgy.

My Libra Colour does this. I don't remember my Libra 2 or forma doing it. It is annoying.

I dont tap to turn, I only use the buttons.

I never swipe and rarely tap, so I don't know.

I would have thought a dodgy button might miss some page turns, but missing and then causing a double page turn would be a weird variety of dodgy.

Yes, it happens to me occasionally when tapping or swiping the screen.

An older mouse of mine had similar behaviour when the switch wore out.
