I still repro this with 7.6, but not with 24.2, which uses centimeters. So it seems this was deliberately changed. Version 24.2 will be out in a week, so hopefully you can test it easily. Of course you can test any time with a daily build: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel/Linux#Automated_installation
