This may be unique to the ARM version but I've noted that with each drawing I open, it flags that I am using a "Custom" page size. My default Printing-Page is ANSI-A (US-Letter). I can save that (Application Preferences)...close the program...open it up and while the page dimensions remain correct, the program still reports it as a "Custom" size.

I see a similar behavior from the Drawing Preferences, with respect to Printing - Page.

I didn't start noticing this behavior until I changed my computer to an M4 based Mac Mini running Tahoe. With that change, I started using the ARM based version of QCAD. So, I'm wondering if the problem is ARM based rather than on other operating systems, including Intel based Macs, like my previous one.

This is the dialog box I'm greeted with when I try to open a paper space Block (that would have been defined with a page size).

Note too, the application and drawing preferences are in imperial measure, yet the dialog box is in metric.
