Bug: Inserting length in Sketcher WB

[Dushyant007]

During the making of a sketch in Sketcher, I found that I am unable to type Divide (/) sign in the first place. However, it can type under FORMULA EDITOR while insert length is active. For reference, I include the input of keyboard while doing the same (see the RED color text in Left corner in the below GIF)

If you use divide it IS a formula. But strange that all the other arithmetic operators work?

The formula is essential while making a sketch when there is a symmetrical part. Even it is a good practice if one needs Calculator frequently for addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.

Yes, it works flawlessly with previous version, 0.18.

If you delete the units you can enter expressions like 25/5 in the Length field:
