Yes, this is maddening behavior, please fix this... it's a deal breaker for this app use. Ubuntu 10.10 for me as well.
I was looking through the same bug reports dating back at least 5 years (Ubuntu 7.04, 2006). One of the explanations is that part of the PDF spec allows the author to set the default zoom level for each section. IMO there is no reason an author zoom level should override reader preference, because reader preference is what allows the reader to see the text. Honestly it's really difficult to read the text at a "Best Fit" level (i.e., Whole Page), if that's what the PDF is set to, rendering the reader less than helpful to a reader. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286218 Title: View mode changes to "Best Fit" by itself when clicking on items in Index. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
