Photoshop CS4 Version 11.0

When creating a document the typed specs don't translate to the new document. They're slightly different.

This problem only began a few hours ago and has been fine for over 10 years.

I tried opening old documents and their specs have changed too.

I must have touched something I shouldn't. Any ideas?

    What do you type in, and what does it change to? I noticed your working in cm but your Resolution is pixels/inch. Is that how you normally work?

    If you right-click within the rulers and choose Centimeters the numbers will match.

    But here is where Photoshop is getting those numbers:  2539 divided by 118.11px/cm which is 300 ppi. is 214.97 mm rounded out.

    Pixels are whole numbers, so 118.11 should be 118. Plug that in and your millimeters should more closely match.

    What Photoshop is doing is rounding out cm and being more precise at mm. You're good even if you are .03 mm off.

    And I'm getting the exact same results in Photoshop CC 2018 using 300 ppi using your dimensions.
