Setting indent

[Monica]

I just downloaded Scribus onto my Mac (Sonora). I'm trying to set up the indent in Default Paragraph Style. I set it to .4857 in by moving the blue triangle. When I press "Apply" it jumps to 1.0 in. What am I doing wrong?

Oh. I see that if I change from in to mm, I can get the number I want.

I've some trouble with that little slidy thingy too, mostly for haning indents.
I didn't know you could change the in to mm and it would convert the units on the fly.
