The PDF is of a drawing I sent as an example of the problem. I have never had problems with the "Print Preview" or in the printed drawings. I'm using a Mac, so the registry issue isn't the same for me. As dellus mentioned, the problem is with the model view. I understand CAD isn't WYSIWYG, and my original question was "Is this a bug or a feature?". Since others, like JimOfCR, have encountered this with the same reaction, if it's a feature then the feature needs to be documented. If it's a bug, then that's something to put on the list.

Thanks for your reply, ravas.

Here is my experience so far:

I uninstalled LibreCAD.
I ran a registry cleaner in the hopes that it would remove anything that might have been left over.
I installed LibreCAD 2.0.8 again
I found that changing the line width still did not affect its display size.

I uninstalled LibreCAD again.
I ran the registry cleaner again. This time it found only 1 item that was labeled "Obsolete software"
I then looked for a LibreCAD folder in Program Files(x86) and didn't find one.
I then did a global search for LibreCAD using Locate.
I found numerous references including a folder that I hadn't seen in Program Files(x86) and several LibreCAD App crash folder and dump files.
I deleted everything that Locate found except for the 3 crash dump folders.
I reinstalled LibreCAD
I drew a two-point line and set its color to red and it width to 2.0mm.
It still shows up as a thin red line.
It does now show up thicker in the Print Preview pane, but that doesn't help me.
Sigh.

After all this, the lines are still displayed very thin.
