--- Comment #4 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
No, in DTP work during layout it is very common to place images onto a Drawing
canvas that extend beyond the page setting. This is valid.

We need to do either of two things, 1) as here--expand the canvas (and the page
as background) to the extents of all image or drawing objects, and then apply a
margin. Or, 2) enforce a cliping mask--either to the existing page size, or
dynamically by corner drag, but probably without applying a margin as default
(make margin optional adding to content after clipping).

In either case the resulting Drawing document page should then resize larger as
needed--regardless of the original page/canvas size and margin when creating
the document.

Size would of necessity become custom/user set, and there may need to be
adjustments to handling with print dialogs, e.g. a shrink to fit.

Would suggest that the same methods to support this would also support going
the opposite direction of reducing page custom size of document canvas of bug
81118.
