When apply new margins to a page via Format > Page...

Sometimes the "Apply" button does not work. Specifically when using it multiple times, in the same window instance. By not working, I mean the margins do not get set. This can be proved by closing the window instance after attempting to set the margins multiple times, and reopening it, to see the actual margins.

Also, when changing margins, painting errors occur at the edges of the document (wasn't sure to file this as a separate bug or not)

reworded summary notes since original descritption was too generic.

by the way have you tried upgrading to stabler 4.1.6.2 final release or try newer 4.2.3.3?

Confirmed in Linux Mint in 4.1.6 and 4.2.6. Its doesnt occur in 4.2.4 and 4.3 beta.

To Reproduce:
1. Open Writer
2. Goto Menu > Format > Page... > Page [tab]
3. Change left and right margin value a frist time and click apply
4. Change left and right margin value a second time and click apply
5. Change left and right margin value a third time and click apply
6. The third apply values wont be processed.

This is similar to bug 78342.
