[Qgis-developer] [QGIS-UX] Print layout: canvas extent not updated

[Mathieu Pellerin]

+100 to stick with current behaviour. My canvas extent very rarely reflects
desired extend and scale of my composer layouts

That said, for your use case, maybe you want to implement a [x] keep extend
and scale synchronised with canvas. Off by default :)
