Description espinosa_cz 2024-05-01 15:53:21 UTC

Description:
Pagination appears suddenly in Writer, in web view mode, when text gets very long. I used full copy of Shakespeare's Hamlet; just pure text, no formatting. Hamlet gives 3 pages. I can provide this file as attachment if requested.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new document in Writer
2. View ->  Web - expecting a page-less format
3. Create or copy in a long text. I used copy of Hamlet.

Actual Results:
Text is paginated. Hamlet give 3 pages.

Expected Results:
Non-paginated text. Infinite length page, in the vertical sense.

Luckily it happens only with very long texts so it bother me often. I use page-less format all the time. Printing document is a niche usage these days.

I older version this used to work. I noticed already some time ago, definitively with 7.x.x series. I finally found time to report it.



Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
Tested on openSuse Slowroll, Thumbleweed, and various Leap releases.
Tested with KDE 5 and Gtk integration. 
Tested on the latest, official, Flatpak version.
The bug is always there.

No, it was always this way. The "web view" is implemented using 10 meter long pages.

Let's close as "not a bug" then.
