Bug description

I press F9 to show the side panel, next time I open the document, the side panel is closed.

Steps to reproduce

Open a PDF document
Press F9 to show the side panel
Close the document
Open the same document again
Side panel is now hidden

Expected behavior

Remember how I want to view my PDF documents.

Additional information

This just cost me ~1000 $ because I failed to read the second and third page of a contract. I thought that it was a one page contract that I signed.

In addition, the continuous view setting is not remembered. For a new file, this setting is always disabled by default. Previously, it was always on. It is remembered only if I opened this file before. That is, for a specific file, not globally. This is very inconvenient for multipage documents.
