Description John Veness 2023-11-09 15:53:53 UTC

SUMMARY
Currently the default Page Up/Down overlap is 0%. It is good that we can change that setting, but I think a more sensible default for new users would be around 10%.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. As a brand-new user, open a PDF in Okular
2. Press Page Down

OBSERVED RESULT
New view is not overlapped with previous one.

EXPECTED RESULT
New view is slightly overlapped with previous one.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I believe many apps do this by default already, such as Firefox, LibreOffice, VSCodium etc., so users will be used to this, and might find it jarring that Okular doesn't do this by default.

Seconded... I did not even know this setting exists because it's shown in an area that's somewhat non-obviously (possibly due to my theme) scrolled outside of the visible area of the settings panel.

Change default scroll overlap to 10%

Change the default scroll overlap from 0 to 10 for improved
usability, and also to replicate the behavior of other PDF
viewers that users may be familiar with.
