odd artifact in epub viewer
I have added a few epub books that have this small rectangular artifact, randomly covering words. This has happened in only a few epubs. So far it doesn't make the book unreadable, I can usually figure out what word(s) it is hiding. But I'd rather it wasn't there.
any idea why it is there? is there a way to remove it? I have attached a pic of the artifact. It this isn't sufficient, let me know. |

to be clear: this artifact will appear periodically throughout the epub. Randomly, it seems.

Is it always in the same location on the screen or anywhere on the page/screen.
Have you opened up the epub file in the Editor and checked what code is in the location of the artifact? |

That book was probably a PDF conversion. The random is because PDF is a paste up format and the conversion is a Top Down interpretation. Look at the code, those are probably scene break markers, that are now in the incorrect location. PDF is a terrible source format. |
