--- Comment #36 from Justin L <[email protected]> --- Although it does not actually solve this bug, it is worth noting here that 26.8 has a similar-sounding "draft view" available, thanks to commit 95425de15b1a00e5e31611ff0839564505b3aa4e Author: László Németh on Fri May 8 16:00:32 2026 +0200 tdf#168705 ooo#4914 sw: add Draft View (distraction-free writing) Add View->Draft View for distraction-free writing, flattening multi-column sections and disabling whitespace, including left page margin. The Draft View keeps fixed line width to avoid of the window-size, often too long text lines of the Web View, too. To focus on distraction-free writing, Draft View supports the followings: – Hide header/footer – Changing to Draft View, disable also View->Whitespace to remove top and bottom page margins and space between pages – Hide left page margin, when View->Whitespace is disabled, so all the body text (e.g. with different left page margin in mirrored page layout) start at the same distance from the left page border, which was a basic requirement especially for the distraction-free full screen mode (Ctrl-Shift-J). – Show multi-column sections as single-colum sections (unlike the Web View). It keeps the original column width, if it's possible, i.e. when all the columns have got the same width. This way no need to scroll back and forth to the previous or next columns during writing and reading. – Changing to Normal View from Draft View, enable also View->Whitespace to show top and bottom page margins and space between pages again. Note: similar to the Hidden whitespace mode, Draft View setting is not saved yet.
