@orion, *,

Thanks for the clips. Shows no implementation issues as the UI for OS X builds
is consistent with those of Linux and Windows builds.

That said, with LibreOffice's page layout, the "gutter" created between
document margin settings (that hold text, tables and graphics) and page edge is
kept clearly identifiable. In the LibreOffice Writer UI that is consistently
achieved at all zoom levels, including the "Page Width" zoom level, by
providing a *scalable* percentage sized margin between page edge and visual
elements of the writer frame.

Frankly Apple iWork Pages gets it wrong as they completely eliminate the page
edge.

Setting scope to All builds.

Passing on for UX-advise:

Q: would it be worth development effort to provide option to set a 0% margin,
eliminate delineation of page edge?

Q: to retain a clear delineation of page edge, would simple reduction of
calculated margin be better UX?

Q: and if so, apply it only to "Page Width" zoom, or make it available globally
across all zoom levels?
