Re: [libreoffice-design] Extra-large 'slide design windows' in Impress - Possible Usability Issue

HI Greg,

Yes, I wholly agree with your thoughts. The scrollbars should dynamically
appear once a user zooms into a slide and the entire slide cannot be viewed
on the screen but should disappear once the user has zoomed far back enough
to view the entire slide and it's surrounding contents. I think the main
change here would be that when Zoom is equal to 100% the entire slide would
be visible and there would be no scrollbars present. Therefore allowing the
arrowkeys to be used to flick through slides.

Thanks,
Patrick
