Distance command once shows inches then just inch

Looks a bit weird, once the unit displayed is inches and then just inch

Command: _Distance
First point for distance ( Units=Model_Units )
Second point for distance ( Units=Model_Units Undo )
CPlane angles and deltas: xy = 0.000 elevation = 0.000 dx = 1.000 dy = 0.000 dz = 0.000
World angles and deltas: xy = 0.000 elevation = 0.000 dx = 1.000 dy = 0.000 dz = 0.000
Distance = 1.000 inches
Command: _Distance
First point for distance ( Units=Model_Units )
Second point for distance ( Units=Model_Units Undo )
CPlane angles and deltas: xy = -90.000 elevation = 0.000 dx = 0.000 dy = -1.000 dz = 0.000
World angles and deltas: xy = 0.000 elevation = -90.000 dx = 0.000 dy = 0.000 dz = -1.000
Distance = 1.000 inch

This is how it behaves here:

Command: New
Command: Line
Start of line ( BothSides Normal Angled Vertical FourPoint Bisector Perpendicular Tangent Extension ): 0
End of line ( BothSides ): 1
End of line ( BothSides )
1 open curve added to selection.
Command: Length
Length = 1.000 inch
Command: Distance
First point for distance ( Units=Model_Units )
Second point for distance ( Units=Model_Units Undo )
CPlane angles and deltas: xy = 38.608 elevation = 0.000 dx = 0.781 dy = 0.624 dz = 0.000
World angles and deltas: xy = 38.608 elevation = 0.000 dx = 0.781 dy = 0.624 dz = 0.000
Distance = 1.000 inch
Command: Distance
First point for distance ( Units=Model_Units )
Second point for distance ( Units=Model_Units Undo )
CPlane angles and deltas: xy = 38.608 elevation = 0.000 dx = 0.781 dy = 0.624 dz = 0.000
World angles and deltas: xy = 38.608 elevation = 0.000 dx = 0.781 dy = 0.624 dz = 0.000
Distance = 1.000 inch

Try with this object on the front plane.

I get inches for a horizontal distance and inches for a vertical distance.

I’m sure you know where you are snapping here (or not snapping?), I just tried snapping to the top and bottom and to the left and right of those naked edges

I think it happens in flat mode only

Hm… I get ‘inch’ no matter what. @martinsiegrist are you running Windows in English? (grasping at straws here…)

Rhino in English but windows in Swiss German. I just noticed this inch / inches thing on one subd today and found it weird.
