There are times when you need to browse a document ... and this document is in a portrait disposition, ... well, all the pages have a portrait disposition minus a couple of pages which are on a landscape format. Then a problem comes up, specially if you own an small screen-sized device: While you zoom up the document to read a regular portrait page a very annoying horizontal scrollbar appears occupying your precious and so scarce screen space ... worsening the user experience ... Why ???? ... just because there're a couple of landscape disposed pages in the document. In Okular you have the option to hide scrollbars ... but doing so you would also lose the meaningful vertical scrollbar ... so you would lose the orientation while reading the document. This way you could not appreciate if you are at the beginning, on the middle or at the end of the document. I think this use case problem could be solved by providing the choice of hiding/showing vertical and horizontal scrollbars INDEPENDENTLY, so that the user could choose to show the vertical scrollbar and hide the horizontal one. Thank you. Ps.- I am running Okular 0.15.5 over KDE 4.9.5 on a Kubuntu 12.10 amd64 box. Reproducible: Always
