Margin size error
When switching between mm and inches, the margin values change beyond a mere conversion. On loading my score and going to page settings I see the following:
12.70mm
12.45mm 12.45mm
12.45mm
On switching to inch measurement I see:
0.5in
0.49in 0.49in
0.49in
Then to confuse matters...when I switch back to mm I see:
12.70mm
7mm 7.0mm (obviously these are the wrong values!)
12.45mm
On clicking apply while on mm, my margins physically change in the score to very narrow values compared to the ones I see correctly in inches.
This has to be a bug!

Very strange, I see something similar, both in 2.0.2 and the current master - except for me, it's 8.5mm that I get after switching back and forth. This seems rather worse than the slight rounding errors I remember being discussed here before. it looks like the values are reverting to some sort of default rather than just converting. Can anyone else confirm? Maybe it's 8.5mm for those of us in the US, 7.0mm for others?

With A4 page (f51dc11/5b20a4a). Nightly, right margin: 10.06?

Any updates on the margin error issue? I've checked and it makes the error between mm and inches whatever the page size and whatever the country of origin ;)
As you toggle between MM and Inch, flip the "landscape" setting each time to see even weirder results.
