Description: What is the name of this new feature in Writer where you click on the edges of the two pages (an icon with two arrows pointing inwards appears) and then the two pages will then be joined (eliminating the margins from the view)? I can use this feature in some of my documents, but sometimes they are not possible. Why is this so? Steps to Reproduce: 1. Bring pointer to edges of two pages. 2. Icon with two arrows pointing inwards appears. 3. Click on the icon. Actual Results: The two pages are joined, eliminating the margins of the two pages from the view. Expected Results: Sometimes, the icon does not appear. Mostly, on "old" documents that were created in the previous versions of LO. In newly created documents, however, the icon always appears. Reproducible: Sometimes User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: The icon should appear even in "old" documents. Would this be possible? Is there a work around?
Thank you for reporting the bug. Could you please create and attach a screencast showing the steps? There are various free screencast software available for use, including Camstudio (Windows), Jing (Mac), Simple Screen Recorder (Linux) or screencast-o-matic.com (Web). I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' once the requested screencast is provided.
Created attachment 143996 [details] screen shot of pointer I cannot attach a screen capture because the one I created with Cam studio is too large. I hope this screen shot will do. Basically, the pointer with an arrow pointing towards a bar (encircled) does not appear in any of files that I have created with an older version of LO. It only appears with my newly created documents. Is this feature only available in newly created documents? thanks.
Please attach document where this "icon with two arrows pointing inwards" doesn't appears. Thanks.
Created attachment 144042 [details] Sample with NO icon Here is a sample with no "icon." Does this icon have a name? and what is the name of this feature in Writer. Thank you.

The one where it is working is set to "Single-page view" and the unworking one is "Multiple-page view" (see in the status bar to the left of the zoom slider). The feature is found in the menu View - Hide Whitespace.
Thank you. I found it know. Its not a bug. Did not know the name of this feature is "hide whitespace" and that it was already implemented in 5.1.
