--- Comment #5 from Scott <[email protected]> ---
Sorry, I forgot to add my version of the application defaults to Inches
(US/English).  

I am a bit confused.  I do not believe this should be normal behavior.  When I
try to apply a single quote (which is foot), it converts the number from 0.01
to 0.12.  But it still applies double quotes (") to the number.  

Although this is a very slight visual problem, it is still a bug.  I do not
think this is warranted behavior.  

Correct behavior in this instance would be:
1.) Maintain the single quote (Ex: 0.01')
2.) Change the number back to 0.01".
3.) Change the number to 0.00

It should not change the number to 0.12", as this conflicts with similar types
of error handling from other types of instances.  We can draw from examples
such as when trying to input a negative number  it visually returns to the
default state (0.00) or how the text box handles rounding when trying to exceed
decimal and maximum limits (3.94 is the max in inches).

Consistent visual feedback is important to the user as it cuts down on
confusion when obvious error messages are not shown.

Now, I could be not explaining this correctly.  If I need to, I can try to find
a free video software and demonstrate the bug that way... but I thought my
steps were clear and sufficient.
