A example document does not help to reproduce, because you need your own standard.soh file. With a version 5.0 or newer do this: Rename you user profile to get a new one. Start Draw. Goto Format > Area > Hatching Make the settings: Spacing: 1cm, Angle: 0°, Line type:Single, Line color: Gray 5 Click Add and enter the name Line10mm. Close Draw, close LibreOffice. Goto your user folder and therein subfolder config. You should have got a file standard.soh. Open it in an editor and make sure, that it has an item Line10mm with attribute draw:distance="10mm". Now start Writer and enable vertical ruler. Goto Format > Page > Background. Set Fill to Hatching. Select item Line10mm from the list. Ok. Notice, that the lines have wrong distance. Enter a shape, select Area from its context menu. Goto tab Hatching and click on item Line10mm. Notice that the distance reads 1.76cm. Rename your user profile back.

I don't know the exact version, when it has been introduced. The error persists in newer version. Under some circumstances (I cannot reproduce) I had seen 1cm in the view, but then the value in file format was not 10mm, but 5.67mm.

It seems the error with hatch distance in Writer is from the beginning. I see it already in swx-format used be OOo1.1.5. If you define the hatch in Writer with 7mm in the UI, you get 0.397cm in file format. It seems to be a unit conversion problem with Twips in Writer. 7mm = 397 Twips. Writers use of hatch distance is clearly wrong. But how can we handle this? The error exists so long that there might be a lot of files out there having the wrong value. Make a cut for ODF 1.4? So that documents from ODF 1.3 and earlier are converted to the correct value on import, and saving an ODF 1.4 document to an earlier version converts the values on export?
