View -> Layout -> panes menu options do no change the panes layout in the PDF Viewer

When opening a PDF file in a Zotero PDF Viewer, the panes layout menu options do not open and collapse the panes around the PDF viewer. They only change the panes in the My Library tab. This is confusing, as I would have expected the menu options to be specific to the currently open PDF Viewer layout.

It is the same problem for the font size. Changing the View -> Font Size options does not change the font size anywhere in the PDF Viewer layout, only in My Library.

Would it be possible to adjust these View options to the PDF Viewer?
  • I guess you are talking about "Collections Pane", "Item Pane", "Tag Selector" options. Yes, these only have an effect for the My Library tab. I guess we should hide them in other tabs.
  • Thank you for your reply.
    Yes, hiding these options that are not relevant to the PDF Viewer tab is probably the easiest fix.
    However, I am still trying to understand why the panes UI in My Library is not the same as in the PDF Viewer.
