Mirror margins don't work in multisection document with mixed orientation

Article contributed by Cindy Meister

In a document with multiple sections, with the following Page Layout options activated:
    – Odd/Even pages
    – Different First Page
    – Mirror margins

If one of the sections is formatted wit a different paper (landscape) orientation, that section does not have mirror margins. Currently there is no known workaround.
