ADE not changing view when flipping pages - ADE seems to be a miserable piece of software

Believe it or not but I usually do not do this. Writing such kind of posts or reviews. But this is really driving me nuts.

I need to access an ebook and would like to do so offline that leaves me with one single option: ADE.

I never used ADE (probably for a reason...?).

So I installed the latest version 4.5.11 (?) as suggested by adobe's website. 

• logged in (yes, I have an adobe account)
• downloaded the ebook file and double clicked on it
• ADE downloads and opens the book.

Happy to be able to read the book I selected the section I wanted to review. Then I scrolled to the next page ...

nothing. 

I selected another section.

... nothing ...

Still showing the first page from that section I selected to start reading.

The only way, I figured out after a while, to really get ADE to show the next page (or whatever page one selected) is to change the vertical size of the window. So I started changing the page, then switiching from full screen to window mode and back and so on.

Useless!

I didn't find a proper solution.

If you have any, I am happy to listen.
