Summary	0016965: page fill doesn't work as it should – and is dangerous for newbies.
Description	afaik 'document setup' → 'display' → 'colors' → 'page fill' is meant to simulate a colored paper. but it looks as the paper color would be printed and every page object would keep its area free of the paper color. if page fill should work as a paper color simulator, it should force objects to overprint it. there's no way a printer could knock out the paper color.
