Order of text in User Grid in grid selection dropdown

[eelik]

When User Grid is selected in the grid selection dropdown the text is in format "n.nnnn mm (n.nn mils)". There are some things which could be different here: first, it doesn't give the y dimension even if it's different than x. Second, it has four digits after the dot/comma. Especially the first problem makes it uninformative.

I propose that the format would be "n.nnn x n.nnn mm (n.nn x n.nn mils)". Possibly leave the second units off altogether, I don't feel need for it when I myself have defined the dimensions (it may be different than when the standard grids are used). The amount of digits depends on the given value, of course, but why not cut it so that the last digit is 0?

I often use the alternate units, so I wouldn't want to lose them.

However, as eelik points out, the alternate units are primarily useful on the predefined grids (which all have x == y), whereas the y dimension is primarily useful on the user-defined grid (where the alternate units are somewhat less necessary).

So we could implement them differently....
