With latest master, the default configuration enables "char unit", which results in an uncommon measurement on indentation, for example. Even more unexpected is the fact that this option is linked with language settings and "Enable Char Unit" becomes hidden if Asian is unchecked. (Sidenote: Hiding options leads very often to usability issues.) 1) Clean the user profile 2) Check Tools > Options > Writer > General: [x] Enable Char Unit 3) Disable at Tools > Options > Language Settings > Language: [ ] Asian 4) Close the options dialog and reopen repeat step 2 and find the option hidden Makes not much sense to me to hide character measurement. But the default is a usability blocker since Benjamin users won't find the right checkbox. Would just disable Asian and CTL, but not sure if those are build with the average configuration.

That control is hide (in case Asian language is disabled) at line: https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sw/source/ui/config/optload.cxx?r=dd4d55b4#128 So, to resolve the issue you have requested, you can simply remove that line. However, I doubt whether it is correct to remove that line (i.e. to allow the user to enable or disable the character unit feature), as that feature was only used for Asian languages (e.g. setting the first line indent or before-text indent to be n-characters). Also on current master, when you enable the character unit, then disable the Asian language, although the "enable character unit" control is hidden, there is no risk as the format > paragraph > indent and spacing dialog does not use "ch" units at this point.

Don't remember at what ticket this issue was raised. But your explanation makes sense => NAB
