What happened?

I like to listen audio books while reading at the same time. But sometimes, i need to tab away to check something else , and when i come back to the reading tab its on a random page nearby what i left it to. sometimes forward a page or 2 sometimes backwards a page or 2. It's really annoying me as I'd rather not have a second app specifically for reading.

What did you expect to happen?

I'd expect i return to the page i was at before i tabbed away.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. (Every time) Close and reopen epub book (for reading) while listening to an audiobook = random page.
  2. (Sometimes) Just tab away from the reading tab = random page

Audiobookshelf version

v2.29.0

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

What OS is your Audiobookshelf server hosted from?

Linux

If the issue is being seen in the UI, what browsers are you seeing the problem on?

EDIT: Issue doesn't seem to be present in Chrome browser.

It seems that the player tray being present or not affects the book layout and that was causing the issue.
