This is brain damaged and confusing for the user. My suggestion about editing heades/footers in normal mode is to create splitted view for the header and the footer, the first one at the top, the other at the bottom, that will reflect the header/footer of the currently displayed section. See attached "screenshot" slightly hacked in GIMP. Not that I'd suggest putting some "close box" in the header and footer panel to dismiss them, and some button just on top of the frame scrool bar to show/dismiss them. On the other side, I'm gonna file a bug to ask for page removal in normal mode. This mode should not have column limits, margin and al. drawn. Hub
