The left and right margins/indents are correctly displayed. I expect that the text should get aligned to these. But, it is shifted towards right.
The file uses "mirror margin." The text on alternate pages are aligned correctly.
Actually, the horizontal ruler is fixed at its place. It should move left and right on alternate pages. This is not happening. Which setting is incorrect?

Maybe they will listen when more people say the same thing.
Perhaps, but not here. They do not see posts here.
Yes, this is the problem - so what do I do about it to correct it?

It's a display bug and we have to wait for Microsoft to fix it.
There is nothing you can do. As Stefan says in a later post, the issue has been reported to Microsoft and is being investigated. You can add your voice by sending feedback directly from the application.
Nothing, other than sending a frown to Microsoft, which many of us have done, though they are not listening (or, they have not been able to correct this, so far).
Meanwhile, it can be assumed that if the margin is correct on even pages, it would automatically be correct on odd pages. Simply ignore the displayed margin on odd pages. While this assumption is fine for plain text, it poses difficulty when one wants to adjust the size of an inserted image to the maximum width. In such cases, match the width of the image with the width of the displayed text. The other way can be to note the offset in the displayed margin, and adjust the width of the image accordingly.
