[Okular-devel] Okular auto center papers, any way to prevent this?

[Mark Altern]

No. It is a different story.

I mean, every time I go to the next page, the page auto-center itself
horizontally, which is a non-necessary behavior.

Imagine, you open you page as large as possible in a 10 inch screen, while
the passage on the page is NOT located in the center horizontally. So you
drag it to the right, thus you are looking at more of the right portion of
the page, where the passage locates and fits the entire screen, but after
you press next page, the page auto adjust itself to be at the horizontal
center, thus move the passage to the left, thus you can't see the whole
passage anymore, but you only get to see the left portion of the passage and
a big blank margin on the right. As a result, you have to drag it to the
right again. This happens whenever you go to any other page.

This behavior seems "advanced" but really NOT necessary, especially, I use
emacs to control which page I am looking. I want to the page horizontal
position to be fixed as I did in the beginning, instead of keep adjusting
itself back to be in the horizontal center.

I hope this make sense, please let me know if you need more information.

Thanks a lot.

Sincerely,
Mark
