Align double pages according to reading order

[acgimael]

Hey, folks!

I noticed the reader right now aligns a page by its top left corner. If you're reading a Japanese manga, for instance, this forces you to scroll all the way to the other side of the page if it is a wide (or double) page.

Suggestion:
Align the page where the reading order is left-to-right (e.g. in Japanese manga) by its top right corner.

I can confirm I did not find a similar suggestion in the megathread.

Cheers.

I'm not sure if I follow. If you have a display fit that may cause horizontal scrollbars to appear (as in "fit to height" or "no resize"), the position to which you get autoscrolled upon turning a page does depend on the direction setting. If it's left to right, you get scrolled to the top left corner; if it's right to left, you get scrolled to the top right corner.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the way I understood your suggestion, it's already implemented.

Just to use as a reference:
When I load this page
https://mangadex.org/chapter/62870/3
Using the 'no resize' option, the image is presented aligning the top left of the image to the top left of the reading area. After the image loads I have to scroll all the way to its right, to read the bubble with 'now then...'
Ideally, it should be already aligned to the right of the page.
I'm using Firefox 63... don't know if it makes a difference.
So, using these configurations ('no resize') and this browser (FF 63) the image does not autoscroll to where I would expect to carry on reading from.

To be clear, image alignment is not an issue here, the image is always centered inside the container. You're talking about the window scroll position.

Hard refreshing (ctrl+f5) the page while having no resize selected should have you immediately scrolled to the top right corner. Works on both Firefox and Chrome, using Windows. I just noticed it's not working correctly on Edge, but that one seems to have various other scrolling-related problems too.

Ahh, ok, seems like I mixed up image alignment and scroll position. My bad.

But I can confirm to you that on FF63, even doing a hard refresh, the page's image does not scroll to the top right corner. I'm using Fedora 29 instead of Windows, but as far as I know the behaviour of the browser should be roughly consistent across platforms.

Edit: Just installed Chrome here, had the same result.

No, I'm pretty sure it has to be the Linux Firefox causing this. Either that or some very bizarre interfering extension behaviour. Goddamnit.

I don't know what to tell you, other than wait for the next major update and report back if the problem persists. You'll know when it happens, but I have no TBA on that at the moment though.

Well, I find it this difference in behaviour somewhat strange. As I had written, I had the same result using Chrome. Thanks anyway!
