Actually, I have not found that to be the case in my children’s books or books that have some on bottom and some on top, so I still make them consistent, all top, or all bottom, and when I have time and inclination, move them to the top the inconsistencies really frustrate me some times, so I make it how I would expect it to render to hopefully minimize damage or misses by the tool. Still ruins many children’s books, but all I can do is report and fuss. Wink.
