(Get the code!)
I'm really sorry with you, Emanuele, for misunderstanding what you meant.
@Andrea: I'm able to reproduce the issue now, and I can explain which is the reason of the bug.
The ListView we use does not return properly the size of the content, but it just estimates where content should be with some approximation. So yes, you're right.
- Just a bit of historical context:
The current PDF viewer is still using the code I added in February 2015, in order to have a first implementation of the zoom gesture in time for the release of the BQ E4.5.
I decided to use that component, which comes from Unity 8, with the idea to rewrite the whole plugin once I had more time. It seemed a good compromise at the time, since they told me that the BQ phone would have been released in a few weeks, and there was probably no enough time to test a new backend.
Actually it wasn't that good idea, since Canonical asked us to focus on the LibreOffice viewer instead, and we're still using that PDF viewer prototype.
The Document Viewer currently has no maintainer, like many other Core Apps. I'm discussing with Alan how we could maintain the application, since I stopped my contributions to the Core Apps but I have anyway a new PDF backend I wrote in my spare time.
