EDITING dimension lines in DRAW results in error in line length AND the length listed in the Position and Size dialog. LibreOffice version 5.1.1.3 (This problem has existed for years, on many previous versions) When using the "Position and size" dialog to change and existing dimension line, the resulting length does not match the value entered in the dialog. This error occurs on dimension lines shorter than *approximtately* 0.7 inch. Performing the same operation on longer dimension lines (say 3 inches) seems to behave correctly (unless entering a length shorter than approximately 0.7 inch. I have not determined that actual boundary where the error begins. This bug may possibly be related to bug 97161, although some details are different. To reproduce one flavor of the bug: - In the "lines and arrows" menu, select "dimension line" - Draw a horizontal dimension line 0.5 inch (approximately, it does not have to be exact) - Open the "Position and size" dialog, note the width of the dimension (0.89) does not represent the length of the drawn dimension line. (If you draw a long dimension line, the value will be correct.) - Enter 0.25 for the width value, hit OK, the resulting dimension line is now 0.14 inch - Open the "Position and size" dialog, the width is still 0.89 There are many variations of errors produced when using Position and Size dialog with short dimension lines. I suspect they have the same root cause.

Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo"; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add "regression" to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

The bug still exists. LO v5.2.7.2 Win10
I confirm this bug with Version: 5.4.1.2 Build-ID: 1:5.4.1~rc2-0ubuntu0.17.04.1~lo0.1 CPU-Threads: 4; Betriebssystem:Linux 4.10; UI-Render: Standard; VCL: kde4; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); Calc: group Very strange!
The problem is, that the Position&Size dialog does not show the length of the dimension line, but it shows the position and size of the bounding box of the shape. There exists no tool to set the length of a dimension line other than dragging its handles.
Closing as dupe per Regina's suggestion in the older report. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 97161 ***
