View menu bug?

In the latest versions, the VIEW/PAGE LAYOUT/SINGLE PAGE selection does not act as a single page - you can still scroll or page down multiple pages. IOW it acts like CONTINUOUS...

Contrast this behavior with v1.2 build 0109 (the previous version I'm familiar with) - SINGLE PAGE acts just that way - each page is a defined entity, you scroll or page down and reach the bottom of that page and no further.

This is a useful feature and I hope the coming versions revert to the previous way of handling this.

I am testing with our latest version, and it is OK. Could you post your screenshot here?

Thanks arthur, for your reply.

Here is 'Single Page' in version 1.2. You can see that the scroll bar is all the way to the bottom of the page. To go to the next page I have to "CTRL ->"

This is the way that I understand 'Single Page' is supposed to operate...

Contrast that with v1.3. You can see the scroll bar is near the top, meaning that 'page down' or 'arrow down' or pulling the scroll bar down will allow one to go to the next page or anywhere in the document, for that matter.

In our formal version V1.2, the Single Page mode did set as your screenshot shown. However, we thought that is not so convenient for most users to view the whole file.We then shift to the present mode, letting users to view the present page only for the window, at the same time users could scroll down at will.
Therefore, we don't think the single page mode for V1.3 is incorrect.

Arthur, so what is the difference between single-page mode and continuous if they both do the same thing?

The only difference I see is that continuous puts a thin black line between pages and scrolls smoothly between them while single-page 'jumps' between pages, though with no effect on viewing.

As for single-page in version 1.2 being less convenient, the reader could just switch to continuous if he wanted to be able to scroll, couldn't he?

A defined single-page can be useful (at least to me) in some instances. For example, if I have a pdf that I want to capture an individual page from, I have a scrolling screen capture program that will get that page, and only that page, in v1.2 single-page mode. In v1.3, however, I can't do this because the scrolling screen capture just keeps going to the end of the document, despite being in single-page mode.
