           Summary: facing pages mode - more logical behaviour
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: okular-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: matous.ringel at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Although the current implementation of _facing pages_ mode mimics a behaviour
of a real book, I don't think it is convenient. 

Consider:
1) One reads left page by scrolling down and then has to scroll up to read
right page. Logical solution would be to read a book linearly, say by pressing
Space all the time, not being forced to go up then down etc.

2) In scientific books there are often references (like Formula (19), Figure 3,
etc) pointing to just the previous page. While you can see them directly when
your page is on the right hand side, you cannot, when it is on the left hand
side.

My proposal: 
It would be better if "Go to next page" would move only one page forward, so
that the page currently being read is always on the right hand side.
