Description Eek! A Bug. Kill it! 2021-09-10 01:43:38 UTC
Description:
The Vertical Ruler is only visible on the page of the document you initially set View > Rulers > Vertical Ruler — unless you click somewhere in a different page or close the document and reload it (at which point, the Vertical Ruler will be visible on page one of the document). The exception to this is if you, for example, turn the Vertical Ruler on while viewing page two, but the cursor is still on some other page in the document, in which case the Vertical Ruler would be visible only on the page where the cursor is patiently blinking away — not on the page you turned it on in. In other words, the Vertical Ruler is only displayed on one page at a time, which is wherever the cursor is currently located. This may or may not be considered a bug per se, and there may be an issue with implementing any sort of change to rectify this due to the ability to View > Show Whitespace, but it is a bit confusing when you turn the (in my case, rarely used) Vertical Ruler on but do not see it.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a multi-page document
2. Place the cursor somewhere in page 1
3. Scroll to page 2 or 3 without placing the cursor on that page
4. Turn on the Vertical Ruler

Actual Results:
The Vertical Ruler does NOT appear on the page you are viewing when you turned it on, but it DOES appear on page 1 where the cursor is located.

Expected Results:
Vertical Ruler appearing on every page throughout a multi-page document if it is turned on.


Reproducible: Always

I confirm it, but also think this is bug 102741. Please always look for duplicates before opening a new report.
