Exclamation Please don’t read books in KR

There’s an annoying KR bug If someone reads an unsealed book in KR (unsealed meaning ordinary red or purple player-written book which has not had a red leaf used on it), and someone else then tries to read it in 2D, the first 70 or so characters on each page that was viewed in KR have been converted to a single line without breaks. The rest of the page has been deleted. The book is therefore destroyed as far as 2D is concerned. The attached thumbnail shows what happens.

This has been reported as a bug by me and other people, but until it’s fixed, it would be helpful if KR users could restrain themselves from opening any player-written books which are obviously unsealed. I’m thinking specifically of the books dropped around to advertise guilds and events. I’ve noticed this happening but only just worked out how and why.

Even the deleted text isn’t gone completely; you can still read it all in KR. But if you don’t have another copy of the book in game, the only way to restore it in 2D at the moment is: log into KR; open the book; type the text manually into Word/Notepad/similar; close KR; log into 2D; open the book; copy-paste the text back in. This is tedious.

I’ve temporarily locked Spiritwood University as I found half a dozen books in the library that had been changed in this way after checking just one shelf. I don’t want it to happen to any more in case the devs don’t produce a fix that reverses the change. I’m also in the market for red leaves, being down to my last 4
