--- Comment #2 from David Hurka <david.hu...@mailbox.org> ---
There are use cases, which are partially based on the lack of split view (Bug
169847)

Imagine any long datasheet, where page 27 references some table cells on page
125. Or an instruction set summary, where branch conditions are explained on
page 123 and the instruction of interest is on page 17562. You can’t scroll
back and forth in such cases.

Imagine that you review a slide show, which gives contrary information on slide
25 and slide 60, which is referenced at slide 81. So you need two instances to
compare slide 25 and slide 60 side by side, and one instance to make
annotations on slide 81.

Imagine that you heavily annotate a document, and suddenly you want to see how
it looked without the annotations.

Imagine that you open a remote document, which is created on-the-fly, and
changes with every reload.

Even Kate, which was used as example for other applications switching instance
instead of opening a document twice, can open the same document in multiple
windows, although it has split view.

BTW: The merge request for this is here:
