It has been required to provide some case for which the default
behaviour is not suitable.

I'm working on a note-taking app which would like to make use of a "Flexible space header"[1][2]:

Currently the documentation for the PageHeader claims the ability to set any custom Item as extension as long as they have an height, so I decided to implement the "flexible space" as  header extension.[3] 
While this works properly when using a PageStack, I got a completely different result with an AdaptivePageLayout:

Title:
  Automatic Header height adjustment should be optional

Status in Ubuntu UX:
  New
Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  
  I am currently developing a convergence capable CAD App and i recently switched the UI to use AdaptivePageLayout and the new headers. I have noticed that the header automatically resizes across columns to match the column with the greatest header height. 

  This doesn't suit my particular application as I would like to
  maintain maximum screen space for the drawing canvas.

  I have attached some screenshots (early development - dont judge me!!)
  of what I am seeing.

  It would be super cool if you could include a flag or option to
  disable the header adjustment for any particular page or column.
