Everytime I swap from edit mode to view mode (Ctrl + Shift + M) or to the formula editor, the ruler or the formula tool bar is toggled and thus the height of the page view is modified.

The view of the page is obviously aligned to the top, so when the page view heigth increases/decreases, the page is moved upwards/downwards by the amount of the additional/removed space, which is annoying.

It would be very nice if this displacement could be compensated!

Hi zyklon87,

Thank you for reporting the bug. Unfortunately i dont think there is a possible means of maintaining the exact page view area when moving between various modes when rulers and toolbars get shown or hidden.

Not unreasonable and it should be possible to adjust frame to hold the document canvas stable on the screen, but then the area assigned to the document canvas would have to be reduced. A different annoyance for folks that want more screen space.

The new Single toolbar mode, and experimental Notebookbar (tabed, contextual single, or contextual grouped) provide alternatives to legacy stacked toolbars.  

But even with legacy default user can undock toolbar(s) and allow to float out of the way until needed--holding the document canvas stable.

So, rather than WFM, this is really a WONTFIX
