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. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20231107 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.9 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.111.0 Qt Version: 5.15.11 Kernel Version: 6.5.9-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 620 Manufacturer: HP Product Name: HP ProBook 450 G4 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.
