"Copy page" should also get buttons instead of the drop down.

Good points @ale. I second that.

However, for me (on both the source build and AppImage), the Page size optipns in "Override Master Page Sizing" section are sane. If I am on A4, I get A4 options and, if US Letter, then US Letter selected by default. (I guess you mean "selected by default" there right? One cannot change the page dimentions there anyway. But other options are available in the Size drop-down.

Yes qirat, indeed I was wrong about the the page size: somehow, I managed to create a US letter document... that's why it was showing that size.
