6598	Parallelway mode reports wrong offset distance in statusline	olejorgenb	olejorgenb	"Didn't catch this under initial testing since it works at the default location of a new blank data layer (around equator I guess)

I made a parallel way in Norway (Vinstra, Nord-Fron) today and the real offset distance is about half of the displayed distance. Seems my naive calculations in projected coordinates doesn't quite work. I will try to find some time to look into it, but if anyone with more knowledge of GIS want to take a look they should go ahead.

Maybe the display of the offset should be turned off until this is fixed? (remove 'Main.map.statusLine.setDist(Math.abs(d));' in ParallelWayAction.java)"	defect	closed	critical		Core	latest	fixed	parallel,projection,distance
