Text being rendered wrong? #285

I have this issue where the texts gets rendered with incorrect spaces, but only with Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS. Software works amazing on my laptop using arch linux, so for that I must thank you. I'm using the exact same books and the books just don't render properly here. This happens on multiple books, however 86% of books work great.

@OoglyBoogly26 Many thanks for raising this issue.

Its a pretty interesting issue, maybe the spacing format in the ebook is something that is not being rendered correctly on Ubuntu 18.04.03 LTS. If you can attach one of the ebooks on which you are seeing this spacing issue I can take a look at the HTML formatting to see if I can find anything unusual.

(Note to myself) - I have seen this issue on PDFs as well. Hopefully its a space formatter which is not being handled correctly

Can confirm this bug. 5.4.6-2 kernel, Manjaro, xfce. As you can see, one line of text is partly visible, but in fact it is two lines of text, one of them being completely below the screen (or progress panel, if in windowed mode). This makes your application unusable, which is very sad, because there is zero good book readers for linux.

Tested several books (including books in english) - all of them show that behavior.

@RomanSedykh can you switch to full screen mode and check if this issue is still present.

It will be great if you attach the ebook to this issue so that I can replicate the problem and then try to fix it
