QCAD 3.26.1, Win10 Pro
I run QCAD and the default drawing unit for the new drawing is inches. (image 1)
I change the drawing units to mm. The ruler changes to reflect this. (image 2)
I change the drawing units back to inch. The ruler does not change back. (image 3)
Should I put this in the bug tracker or is this not a bug?

Re: Drawing Unit & Ruler Display
The ruler number format is determined based on the dimension label format under:
Edit > Drawing Preferences > Dimension > Dimension Settings > Label Format
Architectural and Engineering imply Inch as drawing unit, so that changes to decimal when switching to Millimeter. However, since decimal is possible for all units, it does not revert back when changing the unit to Inch.

Thanks Andrew, that makes sense now.
