--- Comment #1 from phv <[email protected]> --- This bug is more complex than I thought. It only happens when Writer is loading a document after a fresh LibreOffice start: Writer systematically resets the shadow distance in inch unit, even if it's not the locale length unit or after the user has modified and saved the measurement in centimeter. I added steps to reproduce: 1. Set a locale setting with metric unit. 2. Close LibreOffice. 3. Create Writer document and insert a shape. 4. Open the Area window and enable the shadow: its distance is in centimeter. 5. Save. 6. Close LibreOffice (important!) 7. Load the previous document. Actual Result: Shadow distance is now using inch length unit instead of the locale length unit. Expected Result: Shadow distance should use the locale length unit by default. What I have tested so far after having saved a shape with a shadow distance in centimer: - Closing Writer and loading the document: still in centimeter. - Closing LibreOffice and loading the document: now in inch. - Inserting a new shape in a new Writer document after closing Writer or LibreOffice: in centimeter. To resume, Writer fails to load the locale shadow distance unit at startup but the setting is called when a shape is created or modified from a window (but not manually for whatever reason). Also to be noted, neither Draw or Impress are affected by this bug. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
