File -> New. Type = print and select any predefined page setup such as A4. Untick portrait in the dimensions group and verify that the width is now > than height. Press OK. Document is in landscape as expected. Open the Document Setup dialogue (File -> Document Setup). Notice how the 'width' field (verified by hovering over it to display the tool tip) is now less than the height (portrait)... Tick 'Portrait'. Width field is now > than height (landscape!). Press OK. Notice how the page goes to portrait. Open the Document Setup again. Notice how the width and height values have now switched (back in sync)... Bonus (continued from last step): Untick Portrait, press OK and then reopen the document setup. Width and height are now out of sync again. Type w into the left/width field and press enter. Notice how the left/width field value matches the right/height field (square). Press OK. Notice how the page remains the same (landscape, rectangle). Reopen the document setup. Notice that the left/width field has reverted to its previous value (210 mm if A4). See video demo: 2018-07-12_21-13-12.mp4 I'd experienced strange behaviour like this before changing the dimensions, but could never work out exactly why it was happening. Finally tracked it down.
