So, reducing width and increasing pitch will allways reduce the right margin. Just reducing width will not change the right column position, the gap between labels will increase by the same amount. I think this is what you want to achieve. Increasing the pitch may cause the right column to shift right beyond the available (printable) area of the page width (you know the result). The graphical designer only shows the top left label plus parts of its adjacent labels, you can't see if the right margin becomes too small. If I am correct, this is not a bug, but you were confused by the expression 'Horizontal Distance' or 'Pitch'. It is a choice, either gap or pitch can be used, and LibreOffice uses pitch (as do many label manufacturers). Please correct me if I'm wrong, my intention is to solve label-bugs. If you agree with me, could you please change the status of this bug to SOLVED/NOTABUG? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
