Hi, thanks for working on this.

I experimented a bit with the new version and observed some improvements.
Full page scrolling now works the same at different zoom levels: you
don't have the excess scrolling increase at deeper zoom like before.

The only problem is that I don't have any overlap, i.e. the last line
visible at the bottom is now the first line NOT visible at the top.
This is what the zathurarc man page says about overlap:

    scroll-full-overlap

        Defines the proportion of the current viewing area that should
        be visible after scrolling a full page.

       · Value type: Float
       · Default value: 0.1 

By default (no configuration) I have no overlap.  I can get it only if I
explicitly add the line

    set scroll-full-overlap 0.1

to my zathurarc configuration file.  Then all is back to normal and
working as expected, also for different values of overlap. 

I then experimented with different values of "page-padding" but they did
not have any influence on the scrolling behavior.

I hope this helps.  Best regards.
