--- Comment #5 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
I really see no advantage in switching the Zoom view (and by default the normal
page presentation in the UI) to "multiple-page" (i.e. a multi-column canvas
layout).  Doing so would remove established behavior of working with a single
page document canvas just to shift document display to multiple-columns and
chase a MSO behavir.  Not appropriate as any substantive editing of the
document would require a zoom back into ranges correctly handled as single-page
view.

Also, changing from "automatic", i.e. "Multiple-page view" mode, to single
column, i.e. "Single-page view" mode has other issues like bug 40105 and bug
90468 for the active cursor placement and zoom focus. Or those of bug 98446 for
the Hide whitespace behavior toggle back to single-page mode. Or as in bug
95575 for setting the zoom factor when entering multi-page mode.

To my mind we are better served by keeping our legacy behavior of single
column/single-page view mode as default as it is most stable and best behaved
for UX.
