            Bug ID: 119251
           Summary: Indents & Spacing doesn't accept non-default units
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.1.0.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: bibisected, bisected, regression
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: mikekaganski at hotmail.com

In Writer's Paragraph properties, try to enter an indent using non-default
units: e.g., in English-US UI, with centimeters set as default for Writer, try
to set Before text to 20mm.

Prior to
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=8b0dae14a5af0ad2892bac0e606467af6148c8d1,
the dialog would show a preview dynamically; e.g., entering 20, the indent
would almost reach right margin on preview; upon adding the "mm" suffix, the
indent would look right; and confirming the change, one would get 2 cm indent.

Starting from the said commit, the dialog doesn't show the indent dynamically;
and the end result (after pressing OK) is 16.5 cm.

indicating this problem to affect other places throughout the suite - relevant
welding commits might have affected those parts, too.

The commit above was backported to 6-1 branch as commit
903e664735b6bb0d58a16e08db8dfcb3fe52ed94.
