RE: [libreoffice-design] merge Print Layout pages

Hi all,

just a short comment, since I once analyzed some of the today available
views in Writer (during the OOo UX times). I think that the enhancement
request is just a "half-way" solution that just adds some more
complexity to Writer without solving the real issue.

For example, even Microsoft changed the behavior from 2003 to 2007 and
made this feature "more hidden". I assume they wanted to completely
remove it, but feared the feedback by the existing user base.

My take: The enhancement request should target a real "Draft" view,
which considers page breaks and the width of the real pages without
showing the borders etc. This would also solve a lot of other issues in
this area ... not only one. But, this is really tough work - I omit all
the details, but I talked with one of the Devs during the FOSDEM and I
got some introduction in the internal issues of the Writer structure
(there, we talked about an outline view).

Do you agree somehow? If yes, I'd like to rewrite the enhancement
request.

Cheers,
Christoph
