Topic - Unit problem in UV

I'm using the "gameunit" unit system, and now when I move something in the UV view, the numeric interpretation of the transformation is confusing. Moving something half way up in UV shows up as moving the thing ~26 units. It kinda makes sense, since 1 meter is 53.3 units as it is now. Unfortunately that makes it very hard to perform precise movements. (In this case I should move stuff by 26.65 units.)
Is there a workaround?

Lux guys, could you comment on this? I really appreciate the effort, but at the moment this feature is not helping. Is there a chance to have it fixed before 203 (or 301)? (I have to decide whether we stay at metric units or move to the (otherwise) more comfortable gameunits.)

If anyone's intersted, here is a lame workaround: each time you are going to manipulate UVs, switch to metric system, and then back to game units. This script toggles between the two:

-- lua
ActUnitSystem = lxq("pref.value units.system ?")
if ActUnitSystem[1] == "metric" then
    lx("pref.value units.system game")
else
    lx("pref.value units.system metric")
end

It sounds like a bug to me.

I've just realised that modo worked always like this: while using the metric system the UV space is 1x1 meter. I never really thought about it until some weird numbers showed up.
Anyway I buged it.

And sorry if I was harsh.
