How to adapt the size of an SVG sequence diagram? [message #1839107]

I created a sequence diagram with few elements in it, but the canvas appears to have a height of 1020 pixels, much more than necessary to hold the elements.

Also, the interaction element itself seems to have a fixed height of about 750 pixels, even when this is more than required.

These values (or related values) do not appear in the *.notation file that Papyrus uses, so I guess they are computed (or fixed).

When exporting to SVG, I obtain an image that is therefore longer than necessary. For an example of a concrete problem this creates, see here: the legend of the second figure appears too far away from the drawing. (Here you can see the size of the canvas.)

Is this behavior of Papyrus "normal" (do you also see it on your computer)? Can I somehow change the size of the diagram? Or make it adapt automatically to the content?
