            Bug ID: 411374
           Summary: search on continuous view often mispositions search
                    for non-last column
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: gilbertd+kde at treblig.org
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
WHen you search for something the page the result is in is scrolled partially
to make sure the result is visible; however when you've got multiple pages
visible across this often results in you being able to see the bottom of the
page with the result text but the start of the next page is off the top.

I find this quite frustrating on huge documents/

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select continuous with facing pages or overview (for the example I used
facing)
2. Search for something near the bottom of a page that will appear in the left
column (e.g. in my example start at the bottom of the document and then search
for 'bottom of page 1')

OBSERVED RESULT
'bottom of page1' is visible part way up the screen, but the top of page 2
isn't visible because it's scrolled off the top

EXPECTED RESULT
I want to be able to carry on reading from the search point; so I think the
rule is:
  a) If the window height allows a full page or more vertically and
  b) The search result is not in the page in the last column

then scroll so that the top of the page with the search result is visible
(actually we're interested in the top of the next page but that's getting
complex)
