A question about entering length for lines in architectural formal

I think I am stumped by something stupid here. In my document preferences I have the main drawing unit set to inches. And my Length Format set to architectural. I've never really worked with LibreCAD in this mode but I now have some need to express fractional inches. However for things like horizontal and vertical lines, the length input in the tool bar doesn't seem to want to accept architectural length input like 14'-2 5/8".  

10 years ago someone apparently figured out a small code fix here, and 3 years ago a goofy workaround was suggested that I guess works.

Is this still the norm or have I missed a change?

Thanks!
