Hi Jef, It's always been this way. Inserting staff systems means you have completely redo layout after that point.
Margins depend on "Page Format For Score" -- if you've made changes without updating, then new systems inherit the old settings. The new "Hide Empty Staff Systems" command is better than optimization because it won't inadvertently hide staves containing music, but it still needs to be manually re-applied if the layout changes.
