Length / Offset behavior in v. 0.2

[NuriEv]

I may have missed it, but can't currently see any references pointing this particular behavior.
(v. 0.2)

The attached drawing has a single "draft" line.
The length of the line can be changed at 1mm increments for as long as the length is less than 1000mm long.
Once the length is 1000 mm and over, it cannot be changed in increments of 1mm.
Once the length is 1000 mm and over, increment jumps to 10mm chunks.

For example:
Length can be 997, 998, 999, 1000 mm.
However length cannot be 1001mm. It can be 1010. It cannot be, say 1005mm.
It jumps from say 1000, to 1010, 1020, ad infinitum.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Confirmed. The problem is related to the number of decimals used for units and how FreeCAD interprets user input.

Apparently 1001mm is converted to 1.001m, and if the number of decimals is 2 this is converted to 1.00m. Weird behavior IMO.

Thanks for checking this out.
I do think it's a show stopper kind of behavior.
I haven't studied how to start a bug confirmation process yet.
I hope more people can look into this, and offer their takes on the matter.

I do think it's a show stopper kind of behavior.

This is annoying, but not a show stopper. There is an easy solution/workaround: just increase the number of decimals.
