Status: NEW

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040417 Firefox/0.8.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040417 Firefox/0.8.0+

When in the PageSetup dialog box we switch between Portrait and Landscape
options, the internal frame/window in which the options are displayed changes size.
(Refer Snapshot)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open the Page Setup menu option and switch between Portrait and Landscape options.
2.Keep noticing the bottom border of the frame/window for changes in size
3.

Actual Results:  
When selecting the Portrait option the internal frame/window of the dialog box
is lager in length whereas when selecting the Landscape option the frame/window
decreases in length. 
These changes are visible while switching from one selection to the other.
(Refer Snapshot)

Expected Results:  
Switching between options Portrait and Landscape should not affect the internal
frame/window of the dialog box. These selections are for page layout and hence
there should be no interaction of these selections with the internal dialog box
frame/window.

Follow up tests
---------------
1. The change in the window length is carried to the next tab option i.e.
Margins & Header/Footer.
2. Selecting any other checkbox or any other option within the dialog box window
does not prevent this from happening.

Importance of the bug
---------------------
1. Selecting the Portrait or the Landscape option should change the page layout
and hence there is a direct relation (dependency) between them. However, while
switching between these two option, which changes the frame/window length,
depicts some dependency of the frame/window on these options which is not an
expected behavior. 
This can be seen as a display inconsistency in the UI.

Actually, this is probably a dupe of bug 137091.
