--- Comment #7 from Yuri <yuri_sucupira at hotmail.com> ---
To me it's pretty clear and obvious that it's a bug. I agreed that this bug
report was marked as a desired feature instead of a bug report so developers
could have more time to dedicate to fixing other (more critical) bugs and take
the time to fix this. But 8 years is too long. I'm very impressed by such
delay.

Here's the most obvious reason why this is a bug: a spreadsheet contains
information, but its headers and footers contain METAINFORMATION (i.e.
information about the spreadsheet's information). E.g. the page numbers placed
in the headers or footers pretty much inform us how many pages (i.e. how much
space) the spreadsheet's information takes up.

Another clear reason why resizing a spreadsheet shouldn't resize its headers
and footers along is because international standardization organizations like
ISO specify fixed font types and sizes for headers and footers in different
document types (e.g. dissertations and other technical and academic documents).

Therefore, by default LibreOffice should NOT resize headers and footers: the
actual "desired feature" or "enhancement" is precisely providing the end-user
the ability to change such default behavior, in order to cause LibreOffice to
resize headers' and footers' font sizes along with their corresponding pages.
But for some weird reason LibreOffice by default behaves in such non-standard,
undesired way.
