Ipe 7.2.7 with Miktex 2.9 questions

Hi

I have used Ipe 6 pre28 with Miktex Basic 2.6 for many years on an old 
laptop, but decided to install Ipe 7.2.7 with Miktex basic 2.9.6236-x64 
on my new Win10 laptop.

Hoping someone can help me with the follow questions:

1) Seems I am unable to disable "Automatic run latex" ? Also nothing  
happens when I hit Ctrl-L. If I change the page/text, it does rerun 
pdflatex though.
2) The pdf that is produced is not correct. For example, all the text is 
on top of each other lower on the page. Lines are ignored. The saved pdf 
input file looks closer to the truth, except the page is the wrong size.

Attached is the screenshot, tex file and the generated pdf.

I am fairly sure it is just a setting I have wrong somewhere, but I 
can't find it.

Thanks
Christiaan
