Could you clarify when you say there's three paper sizes selected? I'm not entirely sure what the screenshot clarifies.

Look closely to the top left in the picture and note the User Defined horizontal size.  Then look to the right middle and see User Defined size there.  Then look at the popup window and see Paper size.  They are all three different.  You just have to look very carefully in the overly busy dialog box.

I realize that it is confusing, but this is because of the poor programming of this feature.  It appears that the programmers never actually used the feature at all.

A new major release of LibreOffice is available since this bug was reported.
Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ?
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.

To better duplicate this bug, please use a printer that offers full-bleed capabilities.  I am using the HP Photosmart C3100 series.

Next, choose a borderless paper size; in this case the Letter Borderless 8.5x11in.

What occurs is the display of the three sizes as shown in the screenshot.

My belief is that the program has not been designed toward the output (WYSIWYG), and the format is adjusted outside the paper size to make the full size of the paper usable.  This skews the sizes displayed; even putting them outside the actual paper size limits.
