UPDATE: The problem appears to be related to the new bookmarking feature.

When a Reference file is selected there is a registry key that is created: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\e-Sword\Library\History of the Christian Church. This registry key was created the first time I selected "History of the Christian Church" in the reference viewer.

As different pages/chapters/locations are opened, there are registry keys for each location that is within the reference file created - within this hive. The values stored appear to be the last screen location, (the actual bookmark/placeholder)

There is also a separate key called "topic" that shows that last active chapter/location/page. It appears that whenever this is set to "1" the first page will not display. BUT if I change this value to a "0" in Regedit then the first page will display.

The very first time a resource is opened it will display correctly. Leave the resource on the first page. close the reference viewer and open it a gain. the first page will not display.

If you delete that resources registry hive and then reopen the resource in the reference library it will display correctly the first time after is was deleted too.

This is just more info about the problem.

thanks JPG I just submitted it.

You don't have to restart e-Sword to test this.  

When I choose any reference library file and go to the first chapter/division (top selection in the right navigation pane) and then close the reference library.  without restarting e-Sword open the reference library again and the first chapter/division will not display until you have clicked on another chapter/division, then go back to the first one.
