Well... The thing is that this mode is super useful, since it declutters the
whole workspace from margins, paginations, etc. and it even auto-reflows to
match the new Writer window width. That's why many scholars like me still use
this 'archaic' functionality, since it allows one to allocate more screen "real
estate" to the opened source (PDF/jpeg) and write in an about 20% width
LibreOffice Writer. Later on, when the notes are done, Writer goes full width
in "Normal mode". This expected behaviour of the page indicator is just like
that in Word 365, where the switch between "Normal" and "Web" layout is even
easier. "Web" layout doesn't need pagination like in "Normal", since it's
perfect just as it is - an "endless" whitespace to throw notes and quotations
while reading sources. However, the page indicator needs to show the same
number as in "Normal", otherwise this indicator in "Web" is useless, since it
shows... er, what? That's why I reported it as a minor bug, since just the
output of the indicator shall be the same as it is in "Normal", and this really
is the expected behaviour). However, if the indicator requires a pagination to
be implemented in "Web", then it really isn't going to be worth the dev time,
since I can always jump tp "Normal" to see on which page I am. But, if the
indicator can be fixed by easily forcing it to display "Normal view" page
number" in "Web view", then it shall be done. Probably many scholars
(expecially in Humanities)are waiting for ages for a fix of this minor
inconveniece.
