I add my report (bug #145000) in See Also because the cause and consequence are the same in both cases:
- Writer fails to load the locale distance unit at startup and the unit is systematically in inch.
- Locale distance unit is not updated in centimeter (or other) if you move or modify the shape, the image or the group manually.
- Locale distance unit is updated in centimeter (or other) if you move the shape, the image or the group; or if you open the Position and Size window.
- The bug only affects Writer.

I have modified the title of the report accordingly.
Also the bug is still present in LibreOfficeDev 7.4.0.0.

As with bug #145000, I can't reproduce this bug anymore in LibreOfficeDev 7.5, so the issue must have been fixed by some recent commit.
