I can't reproduce this behaviour. I don't have LC 2.08 at hand to check if there is a bug.
Do you have free snap enabled? If not you might get funny results.
Horizontal or other movement restriction set?
Is your question properly articulated? You get the behaviour you described with linear dimensions if you don't realize you can / have to set the wanted angle in the tools options bar. You can select horizontal or vertical by ticking the icon or type in any value.



At least you can use this as a workaround if the normal horizontal / vertical dimensioning doesn't work, why ever.
