Today I *FINALLY* found out the cause of a major Inkscape annoyance: 1px on screen never was 1px in document.

Turns out that correcting your "zoom factor" to match mm on screen to real millimeters #Inkscape thinks I certainly want to apply that factor when both; the document and display units are set to PIXEL. 🤦‍♂️

This drove me nuts for years, and I firmly believe the UI is at least partially to blame:

Screenshot of Inkscape:

"Zoom correction factor (in %) -
Adjust the slider until the length of the ruler on your screen matches its real length. This information is used when zooming to 1:1, 1:2, etc., to display objects in their true sizes."

Below is a % slider and a scale in millimeters. — Screenshot of Inkscape: "Zoom correction factor (in %) - Adjust the slider until the length of the ruler on your screen matches its real length.
