Bug Description

I prepared test case for the issue.

1) Download attached calib.azw3 file.
2) Open it on Kindle Paperwhite with 5.4.3 or 5.4.4 firmware installed.
3) Click on the first footnote.
4) Pop-up with inline footnote should appear with incorrect content:

"test1. nieszpory sycylijskie — powstanie mieszkańców Sycylii przeciw panowaniu Andegawenów (1282).
test2. Bokacjusz — właśc. Giovanni Boccaccio (1313–1375)"

Expected behaviour:

Content in pop-up should be:

"test1. nieszpory sycylijskie — powstanie mieszkańców Sycylii przeciw panowaniu Andegawenów (1282).
test"

Compare it with a second attached test case: kg.azw3 which is produced with kindlegen.

The issue is extremely irritating in AZW3 ebooks with lots of footnotes, for example: 1782 footnotes (http://wolnelektury.pl/media/book/mobi/boska-komedia.mobi). In such cases Kindle Paperwhite loads entirely list of footnotes into pop-up freezing Kindle for a couple of minutes. The problem is not visible if AZW3 is prepared with kindlegen.
