... as also noted in the relating ticket in the bug tracker:


good list of steps to reproduce!

they are not really on topic for this ticket but shows an issue that is
worth to be solved.

A: the values in the document setup are used for the future pages of
the current document. it's not really evident that it's that way, but
coherent with the way scribus works in other similar cases.


B: of course... this show that we very likely need a further checkbox
"Apply to current page".

can you please open a new ticket for this ("add a "apply to current
page" option to document settings > page size") and propose a patch for
it?

in the future (as already stated in many places, multiple times, by
different people) we need a better way to manage the scribus wide,
document specific and local to the context settings... but that's a
bigger topic and we don't have a solution there, yet!
