--- Comment #10 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu)

Right, I just learned that the scaling control in the Print Preview is synced
to the current page style's scaling factor, and I agree that it might be
surprising for users to change that scaling by hand in the Print Preview, to
make the content fit nicely on a page, to then find out that other sheets are
affected.

My opinion is that this is a setting that's very much linked to printing /
exporting to a fixed format / physical support, and therefore should remain
tied to the page style.
I don't think we can have two conflicting settings, Page style scaling vs Sheet
scaling, it would create too much confusion. And this kind of change is limited
by the formats we support. If the formats support Page Style scaling, then we
need to keep the UI for it. Maybe Regina has an opinion?

But maybe that's an issue in the Print Preview UI. The toolbar could:
- have the label "Page Style Scale" instead of just "Scale"
- or the section that contains "Format page", "Margins" and "Scale" should also
show which is the active Page Style, maybe with a Page Style picker, to make it
clearer that these settings are tied to it (and with "Format Page" re-labelled
to e.g. "All Page Style Options"):

<navigation and zoom buttons> | [Current Page Style ▼] [Margins] [Scale] [All
Page Style Options] | <close preview>

Do you think that would help, Tracey?
