--- 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

    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.
