It seems this part is solved as far as I can see, but I didn't look
very hard.

Since 2.3 this defaulted to inches again, while I've set it to mm
before. It's now showing it every 5 mm, which is atleast a little
better. It would be nice if I could actually select other options
for it.

Still the same.

Still the same.
