bug in thumbnail Pages view in Acrobat 9 Pro?

when displaying a document's Pages using the Pages view in the Navigation Pane, the thumbnails get truncated when the total number of document pages is not evenly divisible by the number of thumbnails displayed across.

e.g., in a document with 84 pages, all pages will display with 1, 2, 3, or 4 thumbnails across (84 is evenly divided by all of those numbers); however, when you display 5 thumbnails across (84 is not evenly divided by 5), only the first 80 pages will display. the tops of the remaining four can be seen at the bottom of the display, but they are not displayed as they should be.

this is 100% reproducible in Acrobat 9 Pro, though it never happened in Acrobat 8 Pro. is it an acknowledged bug? i couldn't find anything online about it.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 9.2, Windows

Yes, it's a known bug in Reader/Acrobat 9 which has been reported many times here and in other forums. Alas, no fix has yet been created for this by Adobe.

many thanks! frustrating that i couldn't find anything about it with the search function here, which doesn't seem to allow for filtering to specific forum topics (e.g., General Acrobat).

Thanks uvsar! I have Acrobat 9 unfortunately. They probably have no plans on fixing it in 9 anymore. I guess it will just keep annoying me.

Make the thumbnails smaller and they will all fit. Ver 9.4.5
