I agree that this feature is useful - as is the whole idea of a "Normal"
view (I prefer to call it "Draft View" (as it removes a lot of
formatting and offers some kind of "text editor" editing style) or
"Scroll View" (as it basically converts the document into an "continuous
form paper" that can be viewed by scrolling through it).

We have an RFE with quite some votes for this kind of view and something
comparable to what you suggested surely should be part of it.
Unfortunately until now we didn't find the time to work on this view
implementation. Currently I have at least started to collect
information, ideas, concepts etc. for the various kinds of view
enhancement requests we have got over time. Let's see what comes out and
how the effort estimations will look. For further reference please watch
issue #4914.

Ciao,
Mathias
