This is another facet, isn't it? I was talking about Margin + Padding, when
set together, are added to make the visible margin, i.e. they are
cumulative.

However it seems to me that your statement isn't true either. If it were
like you said, then as soon as HBox.Margin is set to True, the padding (we
ignore spacing here) would be Desktop.Scale. When I click on the button the
first time, Desktop.Scale is added to HBox.Padding - but visually nothing
happens.

As a consequence, Padding must have still been 0 and Margin and Padding are
*not* cumulative. Or not?
