Just to clarify to Eyal Rozenberg and Cor, about what was the intended purpose of this feature back then (what it would offer to the user): If you are working on a multi-page document (f.e. a book, or a thesis) that consists of many sections/sub-sections/annexes etc, and you want to be able to view at the same time what you have typed in another part of your document for the same issue, then you can use this feature to save time (and effort). You can either use the chapters tabs to "jump" between different parts of the document that you are current using/modifying (not just jump to a predefined bookmark at the start of each chapter) or u can expand the viewport to view at the same time multiple chapters (at the exact point you wish to). It just offers convenience to the user that in a different case has to scroll up-down or remember where exactly in his document and what he has mentioned for the same matter. Eitherway, back then i used to work on big documents and seemed a good idea (my solution was to create a duplicate file and reopen it on a different window..). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
