Description

#### Issue details
In the Mission Planner "PLAN" with Config>Planner>Dist Units == Meters and Config>Planner>Alt Units == Feet the display of Waypoint Radius is shown as the value of the WP Radius field (in this case 90) but using the Alt Units.

With no other changes than setting Alt Units to Meters the Radius display will correct itself.

Values appear to save in meters (judging from my poor confused aircraft's behaviour).

#### Version
Mission Planner 1.8.18 build 1.3.8741.25556 ArduPlane V4.5.0-dev (ea237724)

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Mission Planner's PLAN view with Dist Units set to Meters and Alt Units set to Feet, then compare the Waypoint Radius display with Alt Units set to Meters. Trace the radius display and its unit conversion; done means the display uses the distance setting while saved values remain in meters.
