What is the use-case for these rectangles?

Why is the result of export and print different?
(Doesn't happen to me.)

The user expects an on/off option from "Export comments" and not any
duplication to tools > options > writer > print. Solution 1 is to neither show
comments nor the rectangle when this option is unchecked, and otherwise a
result that corresponds to the print settings (margins, bottom...). That also
means to disable the checkbox when None is chosen in tools > options.
Please always add tooltips that explain the features. In particular, when the
checkbox is disabled it is crucial to inform the user why she never is able to
export comments since we default to None. 

Alternatively we show all these options at the print dialog, for instance in a
dropdown. And None would be the replacement for the current default of the
unchecked "[ ] Export comments". The ordinary print dialog goes this way and
doubles what has been entered at tools>options, which makes no sense to me,
btw. I suggest to remove the options there.
