    Default Exporting to EMF/WMF includes strange padding

    Ive found that exporting even the simplest page to EMF/WMF adds a strange variable amount of padding to the resulting image (depending on contents of the page), but exporting to pdf works as expected (no random padding, the pdf is always the same size as the page).

    Steps to reproduce
    1) Create a custom page 8x8 inch
    2) Draw an 8x8 inch square and center it within the page
    3) Export to EMF/WMF
    4) Open the resulting file

    Expected results:
    1) I would expect the EMF file not to have any kind of padding (just the actual page contents), the drawn square should form the
    entirety of the resulting image.

    Actual result: The EMF file has been created with a strange blank amount of padding, so the square no longer fills the entirety of the resulting image.

    I've included an example Xara file: Before.xar, I couldn't upload the emf file as the extension is not accepted.
    Here is how the xara file looks initially: Click image for larger version.

    And here is how the EMF looks after opening: Click image for larger version.
