Top left header misaligned

Question

The top left header position does not align with the margins I set in my preferences. I would expect the header to be left-aligned with the margins of the body text (57pt in my case). At 100% on-screen the header is 86px from the left edge while the body is at 72px from the left edge.

This isn't necessarily a bug. Headers and footers exist separately from the content and are written to the page independently. If you want the body content to align with the header, you would need to add some left padding to the body tag with a custom style.

I can take a look at how the various styles line up and consider adjusting the header padding to fit better, but this is low priority for me right now as I get ready to release. Watch for a fix soon after publication, assuming it's something I can control across all styles.
