            Bug ID: 123648
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Units in printing preview are in regardless of Options
           Product: Writer
           Version: 3.4.1
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows XP
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: printing
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: andrixnet@yahoo.com
                CC: issues@openoffice.apache.org

Page size units in the preview displayed by the Print dialog are "in" always. 
Regardless of the fact that my system Regional Settings is set to metric and
regardless the fact that Tools/Options -> OOo.Writer -> General has
"measurement units = cm". 
Print subsection in the options has no setting regarding the measurement units.

--- Comment #2 from andrixnet <an...@yahoo.com> ---
For a purisitc point of view, I can see why this might be categorized as
"NOT_AN_ISSUE".

However, I beg to differ. 

First, having set the measurement units for OpenOffice in the 'General" section
would implicitly imply that those units will be applied everywhere. 

Second, any software should take the system LOCALE and apply all those
settings, including the system level customizations. 
- If the software offers the posibility to work internally with different
LOCALE settings, then it should use the system LOCALE as installation default
and runtime default, unless the user changes it.
- Also, the settings dialog should have a separate option for "system setting",
besides the built in ones. 

Third, why is there a measurement unit setting if for some functionalities,
while for some others, it imposes a certain measurement unit?
Example: I work with mm in documents, I use custom sized pages. Why must I be
forced to use cm in the print dialog, and not mm ? (regardless the fact that
this example names the metric system which uses multiples of 10) 

It is either a bug, or a feature request. Please assign accordingly. 

Thank you.

Tools - Options... - Language Settings - Languages - Language of Local setting
= language with non IP units.

Issue 113692 should solve this problem - one explicit definition of units of
measurement propagated to the entire suite.
