Just upgraded to latest version as of today, and I have US units selected under the general settings. I was looking at the "Mapped Area" value under the "Edit" menu at right side of project. The value there looks to be off by roughly a factor of 10. (ie. showing 40,000.00 acres instead of true value of 4,000.00).
The mapped area in square kilometers also looks to be a bit off, although much less than a factor of 10.
Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but perhaps a bug?
