--- Comment #3 from peter josvai <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Dieter from comment #1) hi Dieter, yes, the number in the status bar, and the problem is: difficult access to info, (I attached a screen capture for illustration...) it should be direct access to the page number, but we don't have it... we have to examine the document, and examine the number(s)... cause it is now 1 number, and now two... now it is "page 1" now it is "pages 1 and 2"... in the latter case, you mind will correct its first reading... "1"... "no, two"... you don't see the problem... but I don't see what was the problem that made this change necessary or even desirable :) I seems that the intelligence of the "user" is being really lowly estimated these days... I mean, what could happen in the worst case? :) "OMG, I thought it was page 7 but it's page 8 cause I scrolled further"? I don't think this is a great threat :) In contrast to this, when you want to see where you're at, especially when writing... it is an annoyance that instead of direct access to the info you've got to correct your first reading... Yes, you've gotto correct it... and gotto read is twice... cause "pages 1 and two" reads as "page 1, no, page 2, page 1 and 2"... And this is not all... "page 2" of a 15 page long document reads as "page 2 and ... 15, what?, oh, okay, page 2 clearly" cause when you see two numbers your mind will adapt and "add 1"... "pages 1 and 2" will mean "2" so, page 2 will read "3, oh no, only 2 cause it's a full page" :) now you have to add 1, now you don't ... ............. BUT forget all these details... let's focus on accessing info if it could be done directly, in 1 step, it is preferable then having to do it in 2 steps... I mean, that's what I think... BUT the improvement has happened, and I'm sure there's no way back... that's why I think this should be improved so it would finally nearly as much sense as before :) in the next comment I'll list my suggestions -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
