--- Comment #4 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
I could see some utility, especially on a 4K monitor rotated portrait mode. 

This is for a "maximized" app frame (ooSetupFactoryWindowAttributes == 4), and
not the "windowed" (ooSetupFactoryWindowAttributes == 1) layout. And nothing to
do with Full Screen mode (<Shift><Ctrl>+J).

And while the view port off the canvas might be centered vertically in the
maximized app frame, where would you expect the main menu, active tool bars,
and the SideBar deck to align.?  

I could see the SideBar deck and any of the vertical toolbar like Drawing to be
attached at center of vertical space.

Should the empty vertical space open at the bottom be split?  For me leaves
about 720px on a 4K monitor rotated portrait with Letter size zoomed to fit the
2048px ~220% at 1.25 scaling.

Then should Menus and Toolbars be translated down and positioned with same
offset above the document canvas--leaving blank space above and below in the
app frame?  

Or, maybe best to leave them anchored to top left as current defaults? So they
don't move as zoom-in/out on document.
