GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 592256
'Best Fit' seems to do nothing
Last modified: 2018-07-16 10:12:34 UTC
The 'best fit' checkbox does not seem to do anything. No matter what zoom level I am at, enabling that just checks the box and does not change the zoom.
I am not sure what I did before but I can't reproduce it now. Best fit seems to be working.
Ok, re-open if you see it again.
Ok there's several problems with 'best fit'. 1) I open a document with 10 pages, it defaults to 'best fit'. I resize the window (to the point more than 10 pages *can* fit) and it seems to keep it as 2 pages per row. Despite the fact 3 or 4 pages per row would fit the entire document (tested this by zooming out manually). 2) Somehow, toggling can be broken. I have yet to figure out the steps to reproduce this. It may be related to toggling it on/off repeatedly and at differing zoom levels. 3) *Sometimes* this toggling doesnt break it, but instead seems to 'reset' what it thinks is the best fit. So whatever zoom you are at, that becomes the best fit. I can't determine the steps to reproduce this consistently either, but its happened several times.
Does the problem still persist?
Yes. I just tested on 0.9.1 and can confirm issue #1. The other two issues I never had deterministic steps to reproduce so I am having issues reproducing them.
pdfmod is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes in 2011. Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/pdfmod/commits/master Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
