Bug Description

Italicized ellipses (...) show only 2 dots instead of 3 in the E-book viewer.

The E-book editor shows correct number of 3 dots in a row while the E-book viewer only shows 2 but only for italicized ellipses (which hardly look different than the not italicized but may be attached to an italicized word.

Shows all three dots for me on my win 10 machine (I dont have a win8
system to test on, but I doubt it has anything to do with windows
versions). I suspect this has more to do with a
particular font page/size/margin combination. You can attach the actual
ebook file where you see it and I will check if I can reproduce it.

Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you... Life, you know? LOL

And yep... you are so right... I fiddled with the fonts and magnification and if raise or lower the magnification or use any other font, 3 dots appear instead of only 2. It only occurs at default font (I think Times New Roman) and whatever other default settings it has.

LOL I don't know what that means... except that I'll get a fix in the
next update? Thanks so much! It was just such a "very-specific-bug."
that had to have all the pieces just right for it to occur! I was
worried that I was going to have to go through my whole book and look
for any italicized ellipses and convert them to non-italics... Thanks
for the fix! And thanks for such a great program!
