Attached is a simple example illustrating the inconsistent display of dimension fractions. In my example try an edit the red dimension to an arbitrary fractional number and note that it cannot be done and display correctly.
1) If one edits the red dimension via the OIP the resulting fraction is treated as text and does not display the same as the adjacent dimensions.
2) If one double clicks the red dimension and enters a new fractional dimension the result does display correctly (matched existing dimensions) but the dimension witness lines jump to the changed dimension.
This makes dimensioning across break lines, which is not uncommon !, a frustrating experience. Ideally, dimensions edited in the OIP should recognize the fractional display selected in the units preferences.
