--- Comment #12 from Jonathan Clark <[email protected]> ---
In my opinion, we have already done what we should for this bug.

Bug 141957 addressed the fixed-size headers and footers case. The remaining
problem is the "AutoFit height" case, which sizes the headers and footers based
on their contents.

Since content may differ between pages using the same style, implementing this
change would mean making the page style dialog behave differently depending on
where and how it's opened. That wouldn't only be a display problem. Due to
rounding, document layout would not only depend on the values applied to the
grid, but would also depend on which page is used to enter them. Our current UX
isn't perfect, but I think this would be worse.

Certain other word processors avoid this problem by displaying grid cell size
and pitch settings directly, instead of characters per line. We could consider
a similar change, but that should be filed as a new enhancement request.
