Thank you for bringing this up and addressing it so thoroughly. For 0.91 I am leaning toward not having the ui muck things up. We're close to release and this is major blocker territory.

I'm not opposed to keeping the changes, but fixes need to start flying in for me to remain supportive.

The more I look into it, the more complicated it seems. I don't think it is doable for 0.91.

Cheers, Josh

    Hi,

    Trunk/experimental has the ability to change the "Document
    Unit" in the
    Document Preferences dialog. Changing the unit changes
    'lengths'
    throughout the document. This process has quite a few problems
    as
    demonstrated by the number of bugs reported. In order to get a
    handle on
    these problems, I've started a Wiki page to track the issues
    and to get
    an idea about possible solutions:

    http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Units_In_Inkscape:_Document_Unit_Change

    The problems are quite complex. The simplest solution for the
    short-term
    (on the 0.91 release time scale) might be to just disable
    document unit
    changes.

    Please look at the page and add your comments, bugs, etc.

    Thanks,

    Tav
