Not really, the problem is, that you use conflicting keys. If you set the topspace, header, headerdistance, footer, footerdistance and the bottomspace then the height is already fixed. The same is applicable for the horizontal measures. I suggest to use the backspace to determine the left rim of the textarea, set the the width to an appropriate value if the left and right margin should be different in size, otherwise use width=middle which makes right and left margin identical i.e. as large as the backspace. The margins and margindistances which are setup in the setuplayout are sort of virtual and they are placed over the area defined by backspace and the rest of the paper right from the right rim of the textarea. This is the reason why marginareas can stick outside the paper.
