hello. I've just taken the plunge and installed Beta V2.1.0.28.
Previously, I was running Release 2.1.0. I've been playing with some text
files with section markers in them, and I notice one thing that seems a bit
strange.
The section markers these texts contain are the ones utilizing the 1+4
keys for backing up to the previus section and the 3+6 keys to move to the
next section. If I jump to a section of text, using the 3+6 keys, and
read, and I read beyond the subsequent section boundary, the next time I
press the 3+6 keys to move to the beginning of the next section, rather
than moving me to the beginning of the section following the section I'm
currently reading, the Bookport moves me to the beginning of the section
following the section I previously jumped to. Let me illustrate with an
example.
Suppose I have text containing sections 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
After I begin reading, at the beginning, I press the 3+6 keys to jump to
the beginning of section 2. Now, I read continuously, eventually passing
through section 2 and into section 3. At some point in section 3 I decide
that I'm done with that portion of the text, and I press 3+6 to go to what
I think should be the beginning of section 4. Instead, Bookport moves me
to the beginning of section 3. Pressing 3+6 again moves me to section 4 as
expected, but I'm surprised it doesn't just move me to the beginning of the
next section relative to my current reading cursor.
I'm sure the 2.1 code would have jumped me to section 4 in this
scenario, and I can reload the 2.1 firmware if people want me to verify
that, but I'm wondering if this is a deliberate design change, or a
consequence of other changes.
