<pre>With latest master, the default configuration enables "char unit", which
results in an uncommon measurement on indentation, for example. Even more
unexpected is the fact that this option is linked with language settings and
"Enable Char Unit" becomes hidden if Asian is unchecked. (Sidenote: Hiding
options leads very often to usability issues.)
1) Clean the user profile
2) Check Tools > Options > Writer > General: [x] Enable Char Unit
3) Disable at Tools > Options > Language Settings > Language: [ ] Asian
4) Close the options dialog and reopen
repeat step 2 and find the option hidden
Makes not much sense to me to hide character measurement. But the default is a
usability blocker since Benjamin users won't find the right checkbox. Would
just disable Asian and CTL, but not sure if those are build with the average
configuration.
