Just a comment: Word 2010 still has this "merge page ends" capability. I'm not understanding what 
you mean when you said "Microsoft changed the behavior from 2003 to 2007 and made this feature 
'more hidden.'"

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

can you please provide the link to the bugzilla specific site that deals with LibreOffice? 
I will create my own bug. Thanks

Sure, you'll find bugzilla here: 
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/

You need to select LibreOffice as product. This bugzilla is shared between many different 
projects.
