Bug Description
When adding a dimension to the pcb, you can use Ctrl to limit the axes used. However, the number shown before clicking uses the mouse cursor position rather than the constrained measurement position as its reference.
N.B. This also happens with the dimension tool

For the dimension tool, this looks like DRAWING_ TOOL::constrain Dimension( ) only constrains the angle. If you watch closely, the length is still the hypotenuse to the mouse.
