- In Writer, insert a rounded rectangle, - Move the control point all the way to the right, so the shape has half-circle ends, like a pill, - Open right click -> Position and Size..., switch to Slant & Corner Radius, and note the Control Point 1 value (for me it's 0.82 cm, but I've seen different values as well), - Leave dialog, move the control point to some other point, - Open the dialog again, and enter the previous value as Control Point 1's X value. => The ends don't become half-circles. Another way to test this is by opening the dialog at eg. the default size, and entering a large number as Control Point 1's X, eg. 100 cm, then pressing OK. => The ends should become half-circles, but they don't. It seems the value entry field has incorrect limits. Observed using LO 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (2721520ca37654056c3d509657c50ee42e3dcae4), 5.1.0.3 / Ubuntu. In 5.0.0.5 the dialog tab is different, marking this as implementationError, and adding bibisectRequest, perhaps the commit that changed the dialog can be identified.

Reason is wrong handling of mm <-> twips conversions in Writer. The field shows the "twips" value of the object, but names it "mm". If the handle distance is in reality 40mm, for example, then 40 * 72/127 = 22.68 and that value is shown in the field. The problem might be deeper than fixing the dialog. Conversion twips<->mm bugs are for example bug 127207 and 100972.
