I don't have any problems reproducing the problem.  All I have to do is create a new drawing and a dimension.

Here's my history:
1) Installed QCAD on OpenSuse Linux 7-8 years ago.
2) I'm from the USA and still use imperial measurements for everything.
3) After many upgrades to Linux (zypper dup of distros) I ended up with LibreCAD.  I setup my "application preferences" (inch, letter size paper, black on white, etc.) using QCAD and have inherited those setting through the different releases.

I'd be happy to submit a DXF sample file, but I don't really think it's necessary.  As I said above: I don't have any trouble reproducing this problem... I have trouble remembering to set the factor and scale to "1" so that it behaves properly.

I'd like to thank everyone that develops and supports LibreCAD.  I had used QCAD for years doing lots of simple layouts (fence in back yard, shelves in garage, etc.).  I started using LibreCAD when OpenSuse started including it with their releases.  OpenSource is great and I'm greatful that talented people volunteer their time to develop and support packages like LibreCAD.

Thanks again,
John
