I personally not expect padding to affect the image size. It's not intuitive, or expected, IMHO. However, this has been this way since forever. So backwards compatibility surely a hurdle changing this.

That's true for any number of bugs.

Bugwards compatibility should not be a thing... or, in other words: Nobody wanted this behavior, and they won't want it now, either.

Note that this is not about rendering documents created in older versions a different way, just the behavior of a given version of the app.
