Presence of the gutter--the gap on all four edges between documents page edge and the GUI window frame (or the ruler/scrollbar widgets)--more specifically defines the edge of the page as its lay out specifies. As noted, the width of the gutter scales with the zoom level, and could likely be reduced--however, representation of the page edge uses a 3d shadowing that would be eliminated, or would not look correct with too great a reduction of the gutter. It exists because most users prefer to have a clear page edge delineation. So what you are asking, in reality is to replace the existing page edge with a flat 1px border in a color appropriate to the UI, and to reduce or eliminate the gutter. The "page width" zoom level would redraw to that value to fit within window frame - scrollbar/ruler widgets. It should be clear that it would be very unsightly should the page edges simply meet the window frame, or scrollbar(s), or ruler widget(s). A subdued 1px border is the minimum. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
