Fw: [xep-support] Incorrect page margins when writing-mode="rl-tb"

Hi,
Has there been any progress on this bug that I reported? I have looked in the
WhatsNew.txt for XEP 4.18, and I don't see any mention of it being fixed. It has been
over a year since it was reported. Is it in your system and on some schedule to be
fixed?

> I believe xep-rl.pdf should have a left margin of 0.5in, not 1.5in. The
