--- Comment #14 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> ---
This is not a bug.
The "Hide Whitespace" option is only available for Single-page view mode
(available in right part of status bar as single sheet icon, or using menu
View-.Zoom->Zoom...->View Layout section). In this mode, both inter-page
spaces, as well as blank parts of pages, are "skipped", thus each page height
is distorted to take as little space as possible.
But for two other modes (Multi-page view, and Book view), this option is
unavailable, and that's for a reason: in these modes, the option has (almost)
no sense. The modes make pages to be shown in rows of several pages, and making
each page to have different height doesn't allow to create a good-looking
multi-page layout. Even though it would be possible to remove inter-page space,
this would make it less obvious and readable (because then, any column would
appear as one long page, while it's expected that user reads left page first,
then right, then moves down).
The setting is kept in file, so it's natural that some files open in one mode,
and some in another. Also, if a file format doesn't allow for storing the view
mode information in it, then saving in this format will "workaround" the
situation - but the proper way is to simply enable desired view mode by
clicking the relevant icon in status bar.
