The page breaks lie where the margins lie (with scale set to 100%). This way you don't have to look at white space if your Dia get bigger than a page.
1" margins all around letter size gives you 6.5 x 9 inches of room on the page. That is 16.51cm x 22.86 cm. Base units for Dia are cm. As far as I know there are no glitches in this, only arithmetic mistakes.
