            Bug ID: 341842
           Summary: Next Page does not work correctly when the view mode
                    is "Facing Pages"
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.19.3
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: PDF backend
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: ruyexel at gmail.com

When the view mode is "Facing Pages" (Menu: View/View Mode/Pacing Pages) , and
"Continuous" (Menu: View/Continuous) is selected, and the user presses
<Ctrl-PgDown> (Next Page), then the two pages shown are each scrolled by one
half.   

If, instead, "Continuous" is not selected, then it takes two presses of
<Ctrl-PgDown> (Next Page) to go to the next pair of pages.

Even though two pages are simultaneosly shown in "Facing Pages" mode,  one
should think of them as a single page for the purpose of moving from one page
to the next.  That is, a single press of  <Ctrl-PgDown> (Next Page) should
fully move to the next pair of pages.  

This is specially important if one is looking for a specific page number in a
large PDF file, in which case one would like to stare at the screen where the
page number is shown, and by means of several presses of <Ctrl-PgDown>, one
would like to see the page numbers changing as if flipping throgh the pages of
a real book.

Incidentally Evince (or Document Viewer in Ubuntu) handles "Next Page" i the
correct way.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a PDF file with lots of pages
2. Select Menu: View/View Mode/Pacing Pages
3. Select Menu: View/Continuous
4. Press <Ctrl-PgDown> (Next Page) once 
5. Press <Ctrl-PgDown> (Next Page) again 

Actual Results:  
After step 4, nothing happens.
After step 5,  the following pair of pages is shown

Expected Results:  
A single press of <Ctrl-PgDown> (Next Page) should suffice to scroll to the
next pair of pages

Okular is great!  Thanks for writing this fantastic program!
