Advanced digitizing tool not drawing correctly when distances are in feet

[rgreenwood]

What is the bug or the crash?

I believe I'm seeing a regression in QGIS 3.32 in the advanced digitizing tool. When I'm working on a layer with a coordinate system that's in feet (and the project coordinate system is the same as the layer's), distances that I enter are being multiplied by 0.3048. e.g. I enter 1000 and it draws a line that's 304.8 feet.

The issue is in 3.32.0, 3.32.1
not in 3.28, I do not remember seeing the problem in 3.30 don't have that version to test.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Create a temporary scratch linestring layer in a coordinate system using feet. I used epsg:3739, which is actually US Survey feet.
set the project coord system to same as layer and distnace units to feet
set map center to 1000000,2000000 zoom 1:1000
With the advanced digitizing tool enter an angle=0, dist=1000 and draw the line. Use the measure tool (Cartesian) on the new line. I get 304.8 feet.

At the risk of stating the obvious, 0.3048 is the conversion factor from International Foot to meter (0.30480061 for US Survey Foot).

Can you please check you distance measurement settings?

This issue persists in
QGIS version 3.36.2-Maidenhead:
measured known distance of 726.57 ft with measure tool which worked correctly
using advanced digitizing tool, distance (d) shows 221.47 ft.
221.47 / 726.57 = 0.3048
