That is what I gathered from the original post, as well as my personal 
experience and work-around.  I think my biggest complaint about this 
particular misfeature is that I cannot set items outside of the 
printable area for easy access on the pasteboard. The closest thing I 
can do is toss it on the gallery. However, while designing the original 
layout, it is really convenient to be able to move things off the page 
and then back again. I'd like to see this implemented, at some point.
