Presentation mode displays only one page and not two (in two page mode)

[Stefano Maggiolo]

Binary package hint: evince

When evince displays a document in windowed-mode and 2-pages-mode, pressing F5 goes to presentation-mode and 1-page-mode.

This could be the correct behaviour for presentation but presentation-mode is useful also for normal document. (in full-screen-mode there is the toolbar, that can be removed, but this seems ugly to me, so presentation mode is the only sane way to use all the screen for reading - and is also much more stylish with the black background...)

Anyway I think this behaviour is not correct even for presentation, since I could view them in 2-pages-mode when windowed. If one would like to inhibit 2-pages-mode, it should be for document with more width then height, not for a particular viewing mode.

Thanks.

Stefano Maggiolo / jpka, in order to maximize screen real estate, one would uncheck side panel, check Dual, and click Fullscreen. If this is still not enough screen real estate, please reopen this bug report, as well as file a new bug report again Evince via their bug tracker > https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=evince :
Component: general

Yes, this is working, thank you. But we can be even more happy, when Presentation also will work in predictable/intuitive manner (not ignore user settings, like Fullscreen mode does). That will conforms to Look And Feel.
