I have some books (especially One Piece Manga) which has variable page sizes(several portrait and some landscape/dual-page-spreads) and when I press "s" it adjusts the document according to the width of page in landscape mode, at least it did before not now because of the page cropping issue.

I want it to adjust the document fit on per page basis like how Okular does.

I really love this program and not really a fan of all the kde dependencies that come with okular.

I also don't know how make zathura prevent scrolling to the next page when using mouse or touchpad one solution could be to display one page at a time and one change the page when pressed pagedown key and not the mouse scroll wheel.

And manga pages(dual-page-spreads) with different page sizes and getting cropped and some of the information is not displayed.

Today I faced this same problem and tracked it back to this issue and corresponding commit.

Reverting the changes made in that commit makes Zathura able to render different sized pages correctly again, but reinstates the issues originally reported (inconsistent page padding in some pages and fit commands fitting to largest image in the document).

Not sure what the course of action should be but personally I'd like Zathura to go back on that change and be able to render pages of different sizes without cropping. Maybe we could find other ways to fix the issues in the initial report.

Here's a before and after of reverting the change:

zathura 0.5.4

zathura 0.5.6 reverting the changes from that commit

Im still having this issue using 0.5.6 (OS Arch Linux)
zathura --version

zathura 0.5.6
girara 0.4.4 (runtime: 0.4.4)
(plugin) pdf-poppler (0.3.2) (/usr/lib/zathura/libpdf-poppler.so)

my current workaround is downgrading to
zathura --version

zathura 0.5.2
girara 0.3.9 (runtime: 0.3.9)
(plugin) pdf-poppler (0.3.1) (/usr/lib/zathura/libpdf-poppler.so)
