Fixed pages do not respond to the position attribute

[rkwright]

(Transferred from Bugzilla, bug #37, 24 July 2014. )
This book is made up of four files, all xhtml, which contain a JPG. There are rendition page spread position on each of the spine items, asking the jpgs to be either a right or a left hand page.

What is happening is they are being rendered as four consecutive pages, ignoring the left/right information in BOTH single pages and synthetic spreads

Repro Steps

1. Be sure synthetic spreads are off
2. Open 9_Fixed_Spreads_JPG_XHTML
3. Note that the JPGS follow one right after another
4. Go back to the first page and enable synthetic spreads
5. Note that the content becomes two spreads

It should be a left page, a left page, a right page, and a left page

Also, why area the circles disproportionally reduced into ovals? They should fit in the viewport without being altered.

Patrick explained to me why the shape might be distorted. Please ignore the comment on the shape of the JPG.

Additionally, Patrick mentioned that to get a blank right between two rights, the author would need to insert a blank page. Is this true? It seems to defeat the point of having positioned spreads. Please let me know.

This bug needs to be retested to see if still extant.

Not clear which bugfile or platform. Need to retrieve the bug-file (from Kathy Alley) and verify that it is iOS this bug refers to.

Closing this because it is very old. If we see the problem again we can log a new issue.
