| Summary | 0010235: In Single Page mode you should Center the page in the Viewport (Ctrl+0) | ||||
| Description | When you start a new document the page is uncomfortably on the extreme left of the screen, when it should be centered. I hate to say it, but see Microsoft Publisher, for how it should be done. Heck, even see Open {ahem, I mean Libre} Office, a single page is centered on screen. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Create a new document, in Single Page mode 2. Press Ctrl+0 3. Notice the page is on extreme left, which is uncomfortable, also at this Zoom level, I can't even scroll left to manually center it (which would only be a workaround, not a solution, it should be & stay centered automatically). | ||||
| Additional Information | I understand in Double-Sided mode that 2 pages are displayed Left & Right...which might be fine, but I can't understand why Single Page mode isn't centered. Ctrl+0 & really all of the "view changing things" should auto-center the page on screen...it should actually be difficult to make the page be off-center. "Fit Width" seems to do a pretty good job of keeping the page centered. But even View 100%, 75% etc...they should all re-center the page at the new Zoom level. | ||||

Ctrl+0 (Cmd+0 on OSX) is bound to View > Zoom > Fit to Height |

|
well, ctrl-0 could "reset" the view... anyway, what we need is a way to place the page where we want on the screen. even when it much smaller than the scratchspace. no idea why the pages are always on the left. |
|
|
I think it should reset the view as well.. that makes sense as 0 is zero aka 'start' |
|
|
I too hate this "all to the left" behaviour of Scribus. The only way to avoid this is to add scratch space to the left but this introduces other problems. |

It's been eight years. Is there any hope that `position: left` will be changed to `position:center` somewhere in the code anytime this decade? |
