Yes, the page-up (O) and page-down (X) buttons should move to the
start of the next and previous pages not scroll a fixed amount.

I can't disagree with this more.  Many of my PDFs have massive margins
that make the text unreadable if I try to fit the whole page on the
screen.  I will always need a custom zoom level.  You can get a full
screen view by pressing alt-enter (alt-enter also brings back the
menu).
