Bug ID: 162848
Summary: UI does not respect locale nor settings after update
(?). Shows imperial units instead of metric
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.8.0.3 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Draw
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Problem observed some time (a few days) after updating to 24.8.0.3, can't say
for sure if related to update or not.
Description
"Suddenly" LibreOffice Draw does not respect settings to use metric units of
measurement. This applies to freshly created and existing drawings alike.
Changing the LO setting to something new and then setting it back to the
original value corrects this, but the change is temporary and does not survive
beyond (saving and) closing the drawing.
Preconditions
* System locale set to English language, metric units
* Tools | Options | Libreoffice Draw | General:
Unit of measurement = Centimeter
Steps to reproduce
1a. Create new drawing in Draw ...or...
1b. Open existing drawing in Draw
2a. Draw a shape ...or...
2b. Select an existing shape
3. Press F4 to get dimensions dialog
4. All measurements are in inches
Steps to fix temporarily
1. Drawing open in Draw
2. Open Tools | Options | Libreoffice Draw | General
3. Change Unit of measurement = Millimeter
4. Close dialog
5. Open dimensions dialog for shape
6. Measurements are now shown in millimeters
7. Change Unit of measurement back to Centimeter
8. Measurements are now shown in centimeters
9. Saving does not make the (refreshed) setting stick
