Description:
I have a series of slides imported for powerpoint.

For some reason when I open the "notes" view, I see a tiny slide within a very large page. To see the properties of this page I need to go to "Slide -> Slide properties...". This is already confusing. If you are in a notes view, there should be a "Page properties" entry in format, not a "Slide properties..." entry in "Slide"

In "Slide properties..." there is a `Slide` tab (slide again) giving you the properties of the the notes page. In my case this is huge and landscape, possibly explaining why the slide appears small on the page. It is possible to move the view of the slide around, but not to resize it.

If I change the size of the slide in the notes view, then this actually changes the size of the notes page, without affecting the side of the slides when you go back to the slide page. However, the page elements are not resized appropriately and often the slide disappears altogether.  In many cases the slide appears even smaller in a large dotted rectangle (what is it?).

Even using the notes master page there seems to be no way to fix the notes page.

Please attach a sample file(s), reduce the size as much as possible without private information, and paste in the answer the information in Menu/Help/About LibreOffice, there is a copy icon.

Main issue seems being unable to resize elements in Console.

Not a duplicate. This is not about the console view, but the notes (that can also be printed). I encountered cases where nothing was editable, always with docs imported from pptx. Will try to provide an example.
