Measurement units ignored since 6.1?

Using LO 6.1 under Mint 18.3
Since 6.1, measurement units entered into dialogue boxes are ignored. So E.g. in Writer, set Measurement unit to centimetre. Then in Format → Paragraph, set the spacing to 10 pt. Instead, the spacing is set to 10 cm. Reverse the process. Set Measurement unit to point. Then in Format → Paragraph set spacing to 1 cm. Instead it sets the spacing to 1 pt. This seems to apply to all components and to all measurement dialogues.
Reverting to LO 6.0.6 the problem goes away, so it doesn’t seem to be a configuration issue.
Does anyone else experience this?
