needs some investigation.

printing and on screen are treated differently in code for line widths;

I actually found it weird to draw linewidth on screen, for example:

1, start LC with an empty drawing;
2, set paper to "letter";
3, set line width to 2mm;
4, draw rectangle: 0,0 5,5
5, auto zooming

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.
