[Working as Intended] Stroke Width always shows pt as unit

[seloran]

Even if I try to manually change it to px, it reverts to showing pt after I hit enter in the field.

Now, I think it should be using px because my iPad app shows them as px with the same value on the Mac, and it may just be a display issue, but it's still confusing.

That's by design.
If you want to display stroke width in documents units, go to Preferences > User Interface > disable Show Lines In Points

As long as your document resolution is 72 ppi (or "DPI" as Affinity confusingly call it), then 1 px = 1 pt.

Thanks! I forgot to change that preference on my Mac even though I did so on my iPad, and I think I did set the resolution to 72 PPI.
