[Qgis-user] mouse position display in different units

[McDonaldR]

Hello list

I have user with a project with a number of layers (both shapefile and PostGIS). Project CRS is EPSG:27700 and layer CRS is EPSG:27700 (British National Grid).  Normally, the mouse position box in the bottom panel shows coordinates in metres (easting and northing) but for some reason it is now displaying lon and lat instead.  Has the user added a layer with CRS EPSG:4326 which QGIS has then reprojected on the fly to EPSG:27700? Possibly.  But why has the mouse display box switched to lon/lat?  Is there any way to get that back to easting/northing metres?  Am I missing something obvious?

The user has a number of points with coordinates in metres and wants to move them to the correct location but can't as the project is working in decimal degrees.

Windows 7 64bit, QGIS 2.14.3 64bit, Postgresql 9.2, PostGIS 2.2

Thanks in advance

Ross
