Description:

I have experienced it at least 3 times, randomly, with many older versions too, including version 3.1.5-gtkhtml3, that on occasion "pages" keep flipping backwards on their own. It looks like a sort of a loop that makes Xiphos behave as if it's thinking "Oops, I'm displaying the wrong page, I'll flip one back to correct this..." and never stops doing this.

Steps to reproduce:
If anyone can identify under what conditions this happens and can reproduce this please comment.
This task depends upon

Just 2 minutes after posting this, it happened to me again. I was switching between Bible tabs. The version is: xiphos-3.1.5-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz

This bug is not critical and key information is missing (like package version). Please read the bug reporting guidelines.

This can be reported upstream to the Xiphos developers.

What do you call a bug that renders the program unusable ?

I also found that I can't read Ezechiel 12, cause it rolls back to chapter 9... but I can read 14. So this might be a hint?

From the bug reporting guidelines:

Critical- System crash, severe boot failure that is likely to affect more than just you, or an exploitable security issue in either a core or outward-facing service package.
High- The main functionality of the application does not work, less critical security issues, etc.
Medium- A non-essential functionality does not work, UNIX standards not respected, etc.
Low- An optional functionality (plugin or compilation activated) does not work.
Very Low- Translation or documentation mistake. Something that really does not matter much but should be noticed for a future release.

It would be "High" or "Medium", depending on to wich degree one would consider the program to not be working. In any case, it is not "Critical".

Moved xiphos from [community] to unsupported, since sword doesn't seem like it will be fixed anytime soon.
