In Writer's Paragraph properties, try to enter an indent using non-default units: e.g., in English-US UI, with centimeters set as default for Writer, try to set Before text to 20mm. Prior to https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=8b0dae14a5af0ad2892bac0e606467af6148c8d1, the dialog would show a preview dynamically; e.g., entering 20, the indent would almost reach right margin on preview; upon adding the "mm" suffix, the indent would look right; and confirming the change, one would get 2 cm indent. Starting from the said commit, the dialog doesn't show the indent dynamically; and the end result (after pressing OK) is 16.5 cm. See also https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/162779/measurement-units-ignored-since-61/ indicating this problem to affect other places throughout the suite - relevant welding commits might have affected those parts, too. The commit above was backported to 6-1 branch as commit 903e664735b6bb0d58a16e08db8dfcb3fe52ed94.

backport to 6-1 in gerrit. The units are parsed now to restore that feature (update remains deferred to losing focus or explicit up/down which is consistent across the welded things)
