When a new document is opened, the Left/Right arrows work properly for Page Up / Page Down.

However after having browsed in the document, it frequently occurs that Left/Right arrows only move single characters to the left/right.

I have not been able to discover

  • what sequence of browsing causes the behavior to change
  • how to revert the behavior back to full page incrementing

Tips appreciated.

After opening a new pdf the cursor doesn't really exist and depending on your settings Left/Right arrows work properly for Page Up / Page Down.

As soon as you move the cursor into the document you will navigate inside your pdf and Page Up / Page Down won't work anymore with the Left/Right arrow keys.

To restore the previous behavior just click on the dark grey background. That's a bit difficult if View -> Zoom is set to 'Fit Width', because the gap between document and frame is very small and hard to hit with the cursor.

Press the esc key to navigate out of the document edit/select mode. The Left/Right arrow keys should then work again the same as before.
