Description: The current appearance of LibreOffice Writer's Web View fits the text to the edges of the viewing window. This is, in my opinion, not very visually appealing. Google Doc's Pageless mode — and, if I remember correctly, Microsoft Word — have a solution to this problem. Constrict the text to the page width, (centred, of course). Tables and similar components may still surpass this restriction when necessary. I believe that this feature change would greatly increase appeal to Web View mode, and for those who disagree, there can remain a toggle in the settings to bring back the old behaviour. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open or create a new document. 2. Click View > Web. 3. Observe result. Actual Results: Text is fitted to the sides of the viewing window. Expected Results: Text is constrained to page width, similarly to Google Docs Pageless mode. Or, alternatively, this behaviour could be found through a setting somewhere. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Version: 7.5.0.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: c21113d003cd3efa8c53188764377a8272d9d6de CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-CA (en_CA); UI: en-GB Calc: CL threaded
Please attach an annotated screen clip, and maybe examples from other programs showing the layout you'd like. Also, the 7.5.0.3 build is very old--current releases are 7.6.5 or 2.4.2, probably won't make a difference here but best to stay current.
