           Summary: Certain pdf's confuse okular's fit width.
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: okular-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: pyrophobicman at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.4.1)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.4 (x86_64) CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe"
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

I opened the 2-page pdf at
http://www.subaru.com/content/downloads/pdf/maintsched/2003SchedFed.pdf
using okular within konqueror, using the right half of the screen at
1920x1080... exact pixel counts should be visible in my screenshot here
(showing the with-scrollbar state):

Basically, when the scroll bar is present, the width of the page decreases, and
the height of the page decreases so that the whole thing is visible... which
means that the scroll bar goes away, and the width increases... so the page
bottom goes below the bottom of the page, and it requires a scroll bar. Rinse
and repeat.

The problem with this bug is that it only shows up on particularly bad
combinations of pdf's and window sizes, and that there is no obvious (to me)
solution - the oscillation should be stopped, but having the scroll bar is ugly
when not necessary, and you need it... maybe some system by which the page
makes itself slightly smaller to avoid this?
