steps to reproduce: - open new writer document - press (F11), select "Default Style", context menu "Modify...", - switch to "Indents & Spacing" - measurment is: "cm" - open Menu "Format/Paragraph..." - switch to "Indents & Spacing" - measurment is: "ch" or "line" restart LO and do it vice versa with a new writer document, and you will get "ch" and "line" in both cases. Menu Tools/Options/LibreOffice Writer/General Settings [x] Enable char unit is enabled by default, but the sidebar seems not to be initialized with the setting. *not* reproducible with: Version: 6.1.6.3 (x64) Build-ID: 5896ab1714085361c45cf540f76f60673dd96a72 CPU-Threads: 4; BS: Windows 10.0; UI-Render: Standard; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); Calc:
On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I could reproduce this. I wonder if it could be a kind of dup of tdf#127744 put in See Also.
The 'ch' and 'line' units are being picked up from Tools -> Options -> Language Settings -> Languages when an entry is made in the Asian check box for 'Default Languages for Documents'. When unchecked use of 'Western' or 'CTL' locales will not offer those units in the 'Indents and Spacing' tabs of either the Paragrah... dialog or the Styles and Formatting deck of the Sidebar. It was already like that for the 5.3.7 builds, so not sure how far back the change enabling Asian 'Default languages for Documents' occurred.
It is still the same in 7.1, like in the description. "ch" in both after tests done. Version: 7.1.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: d57b14e3394b081adf0888ed8dcb7b86d66c246c CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (ro_RO.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
Dear Oliver Brinzing, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

Oliver, please retest, in my test everything seems fine. Maybe I need another locale than English?
