Bug ID: 170591
Summary: Writer uses wrong unit of measurement in Find Replace
format
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.8.2.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I was trying to Find and Replace the size of the indent on paragraphs in a
Writer document. My units of measurement are set to millimetres and my
Languages to English UK and others to Australian English, both metric
countries. However when I press the up arrow on the "Before text" option, only
inches are displayed. See attachment. I killed Libreoffice from the task
manager and restarted, but it persisted, even in new empty documents. Safe Mode
also made no difference. I'm surprised that this basic error exists in LO.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open new document
2. Go to Find and Replace --> Format
3. Go to Indents and Spacing
4. Go to Before Text and press the up arrow.
Actual Results:
Inches are used, not the millimetres set in Options as default for LO and
Writer.
Expected Results:
Millimetres should have been used
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
When you tell the software to use metric units, that's what it should do
