Screenshot showing table properties in inches with the rest in cm

When viewing the table properties in the writer app, the display units sometimes switch to inches from cm (See attached screenshot).

The associated application settings I can find are:


Languages and Locals / General
    User Interface: English (UK)
    Locale setting: Default - English (UK)

LibreOffice Writer / General
    Settings - Measurement Units: centimetre

All other measurement fields I can see in the app are using cm.

Changing the unit while the cursor is in a table (and the sidebar loaded) leaves the unit of "Paragraph" and "Table" different
