Yes, can see that happens.

Not so sure, the sdraw (sd) module handling of zoom is different than swriter
(sw), but then Writer documents are manipulated much differently than Draw
canvas pages or Impress presentation slides where we provide the Pages/Slides
Pane in the UI to represent active position in document.
Writer handles document content linearly, paginating the entire document. Users
get view options--the Status Bar button selectors, or now View -> Page Layout
(bug 150839)--which control document layout in the app frame, and give users a
resulting "viewport" into the document.
Not clear we'd want the same sd zoom behavior (e.g. follow pointer focus) for
the sw 'Single-page view'. While the 'Multiple-page view' and 'Book view' are
not the ask here and would be disrupted considerably with a mass change to sd
type zoom.
Also all the sw layout modes receive ruler support, and that would likely be
affected with changes in "viewport" positioning for the 'Single-page' layout.
But, if the viewport in sw 'Single-mode' could be *unbound* from the frame's
top edge without too much effort and impact on the other sw layout modes, then
adjusting its zoom to center vertically in frame is appealing.
If all three layouts (and Full Screen and Web/Writer) can not be isolated
without major refactoring of the sw layout then it is probably not justified to
change the Single-page layout.
