            Bug ID: 428031
           Summary: Okular uses the most recent window dimensions without
                    regard to document dimensions
           Product: okular
           Version: 1.11.1
          Platform: Debian testing
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: gszymaszek at short.pl
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
When you open a document in Okular, its window has the same dimensions as the
most recently resized (or maximized) Okular window. This may be inconvenient if
you switch between documents of very different sizes. For example, you may want
a presentation/map/photo to fill most of your screen, while a text document
would be easily readable taking less than half of screen width. Another
example: you may want to read some documents with the sidebar enabled (and make
the window wider) and others without the sidebar (now the window is too wide).

The difference is even bigger when View→Trim View→Trim Margins is enabled, as
presentations/maps/photos often have relatively small margins.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download <http://download.ros.org/downloads/ROScheatsheet.pdf>.
2. Open the file in Okular and resize it so that those tiny letters are
readable (make it 1500 px wide).
3. Download the KDE Frameworks Cookbook (PDF):
<https://share.kde.org/s/jqpMS4gPs3HoxLN>.
4. Open the file in Okular.

OBSERVED RESULT
The second Okular window is too wide, the letters are too big.

EXPECTED RESULT
(a) Okular does not remember window dimensions at all. For example, it can
simply fit the window size to the opened document width, with respect to
document’s resolution. That’s how mupdf 1.17 and gv 3.7.4 seem to work.
(b) Okular fits the window size to the document width (like above). If the
window is resized, Okular remembers the new dimensions and uses them the next
time this document is opened, like it already does with zoom levels (see
~/.local/share/okular/docdata/).

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.70.0
Qt Version: 5.14.2
