"Next Page" is behaving in an incorrect way.  It should take you to the next
page, rather than scrolling down each of the two shown pages by half, which it
is currently doing when viewing a PDF file provided:

"Facing Pages" mode is selected (Menu: View/View Mode/Facing Pages)
"Continuous" mode is selected (Menu: View/Continuous)
"Fit Width" is selected (Menu: View/Fit Width)

My guess is that the software computes

  1 (press of "Next Page") = 2 (shown pages) X 1/2 (amount each page is
scrolled down)

which is mathematically sound but absolutely not what the user expects.

There is a similar bug when "Continuous" is NOT selected.
