Thank you for this, Stefan, but now I see a ?new? artifact — depending 
on the degree of zoom, in single-page continuous view the Y-origin of 
the first page can be either  -30, -15 or 0.  The reason appears to be 
that at small sizes (less zoom), it is impossible to select page 1 as 
the current page.

Also, were you able to give any though to my proposal to display the 
relevant co-ordinate in the status bar when dragging a ruler ?
