            Bug ID: 319734
           Summary: Feature request :    Provide the ability to show/hide
                    HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL scrollbars independently.
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

There are times when you need to browse a document ... and this document is in
a portrait disposition, ... well, all the pages have a portrait disposition
minus a couple of pages which are on a landscape format. Then a problem comes
up, specially if you own an small screen-sized device:

     While you zoom up the document to read a regular portrait page a very
annoying horizontal scrollbar appears occupying 
   your precious and so scarce screen space ... worsening the user experience
... Why ????    ... just because there're a couple of  
   landscape disposed pages in the document.


 In Okular you have the option to hide scrollbars ... but doing so you would
also lose the meaningful vertical scrollbar ... so you would lose the
orientation while reading the document. This way you could not appreciate if
you are at the beginning, on the middle or at the end of the document.


 I think this use case problem could be solved by providing the choice of
hiding/showing vertical and horizontal scrollbars INDEPENDENTLY, so that the
user could choose to show the vertical scrollbar and hide the horizontal one.


 Thank you.


 Ps.- I am running Okular 0.15.5 over KDE 4.9.5 on a Kubuntu 12.10 amd64 box.


Reproducible: Always
