How can you know that? With the scale set to 1:10, the position shows 
as 1.25", not 0.13" or anything like it. Where are you getting that 
figure from?

With the display zoom set to 200%, if I change the position from 
1.25" to 1.34" (both of which round to 0.13" at a scale of 1:1), the 
line jumps visibly when I click OK. That contradicts what you 
suggest: the two values produce different line positions.

I think the ball's in your court: can you tell us, please, what you 
are doing to make the behaviour different for you? ("Nope" doesn't 
quite cut it.)
