<pre>More investigation. In brief, the page size input fields act differently to
the shape measurement input fields.
Step by step:
I start LibreOffice and create a new Draw document. My locale is
English(Australia) so my measurements are mm.
I set the drawing scale to 1:1.
I then go to Format, Page Properties). The popup dialog box is called "Page
Setup". In this dialog box I change the paper size to A0 (the largest paper in
the A-series). When I do this, the page height is shown as 1,189.00 mm. Note
the thousands separator.
I then highlight the 1,189 mm, delete it, and then enter a new page height of
(say) 1234 mm. No thousands separator is added UNTIL focus is lost on the page
height entry field.
I then create a rectangle, dragging the corners until it occupies most of the
page. If I look at the rectangle properties, under "Position and Size", the
height (in my case) is 1,222 mm.
If I highlight the 1,222 mm, delete it, and then enter a new shape height of
(say) 1122mm. In this case the thousands separator is added as the characters
are entered. I end up with 1,22|2.00 mm, where | is the position of the
cursor.
A more consistent and usable approach would to have the shape measurements
(height, width, horizontal and vertical) act the same way as the paper size
measurements. That is, to format the field (add the thousands separator and
decimal digits) when focus is lost, rather than as the characters are entered.</pre>
