Yes, that would be the "simple" case--but more refined use would still require
the ability to set a clip mask and allow resize--increasing or shrinking--of
canvas to match the new size.

Objects that hang off the canvas may still not be desired--meaning we'd not
want to expand the canvas to include all objects. And why an ideal clipping
mask implementation would chop any excess away while reshaping the canvas to
hold what is desired within the selection made.

Adding bug 81118 to the see also--implementing these two issues really should
be linked as they will require similar handling in source.

No, in DTP work during layout it is very common to place images onto a Drawing
canvas that extend beyond the page setting. This is valid.

We need to do either of two things, 1) as here--expand the canvas (and the page
as background) to the extents of all image or drawing objects, and then apply a
margin. Or, 2) enforce a cliping mask--either to the existing page size, or
dynamically by corner drag, but probably without applying a margin as default
(make margin optional adding to content after clipping).

In either case the resulting Drawing document page should then resize larger as
needed--regardless of the original page/canvas size and margin when creating
the document.

Size would of necessity become custom/user set, and there may need to be
adjustments to handling with print dialogs, e.g. a shrink to fit.

Would suggest that the same methods to support this would also support going
the opposite direction of reducing page custom size of document canvas of bug
81118.

Automatize change (increase) size of page - is good idea.
Automatize change (decrease) size of page - is bad idea, will problem with
print drawing due to printer settings.

also, WORKSFORME - will non correct status. may be NOTABUG or better to just
realize this feature? =)

This request is the opposite to bug 81118 where page size is requested to fit
the smaller drawing. It WORKSFORME especially since the page size will be
easily accessible from the sidebar (bug 87643). Other opinions?
