Comment 4 for bug 1671869

I can also confirm this bug - it appears that when you press Space to "reset" the local origin, it takes the origin point for delta-measurement (dx/dy) not from the closest grid point but from the exact mouse pos (as John notes, above).

This *used to work as intended* however at some recent stage the behaviour has changed. Any chance this could be addressed (just this measurement bug, not the "dual modes" as suggest above) soon, rather than waiting for 5.0.0?
