iBooks 1.1.1: Using Divvy to Re-Size Window Doesn’t Reflow Text in ePub

Product:iBooks Product Version:iBooks 1.1.1 (600)
Classification:Feature (New) Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
If you have a book open in iBooks and use Divvy (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/divvy-window-manager/id413857545?mt=12&uo=4&at=10lsEt) to resize the window, it doesn’t reflow text.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an .epub file in iBooks.
2. Use Divvy to resize the window.

Expected Results:
Text will be reflowed around the new window size.

Actual Results:
Text is not reflowed, looking awkward at times (see screenshot).

Regression:
Unknown

Notes:
This only appears to happen for ePub books manually imported to iBooks. iBooks books are fine.

This may be an underlying issue in OS X; there are other apps that don’t respond well to being resized in this manner. It’s almost like there’s a callback when the window is resized that isn’t called when Divvy (or another tool) resizes the window.
