Hi,
I already wrote about this some time ago, switching to 2.3 made going through
the documents with chapters somewhat annoying on small screens because third of
my monitor is taken by vertical space. Eg. after loading tutorial on my laptop
I can't read even the first paragraph because of the empty space.
This was not the case with 2.0 as you can see in attached screenshot
(little blurry due to high compression).
Left-most lyx 2.0, middle lyx 2.3, right lyx 2.3 with the attached patch.
I look at git history and the change was not caused by the layout file,
so my speculation is that some painting routines changed.
Anyway I propose to change the layout file as it seems most straightfoward.
Opinions?
Pavel
