the Dimensioning dialog - wrong tab order

Created attachment 87061 [details] Screenshots (UI & Help) Steps to reproduce: 1. In Draw/Impress insert a dimension line. 2. In the context menu of the dimension line, choose "Dimensions...". 3. The "Dimensioning" dialog: Notice the order in which controls are shown in the "Legend" section. Use the Tab key till you reach the "Text position" control and continue pressing the Tab key. The control labelled "Parallel to line" gains the focus _after_ the controls "Show meas. units" and the drop-down list. I see no compelling reason for such an order (same problem occurs in the "Dimensioning" tab for style "Dimension Line"). Moreover that’s a good example of bad UX. The corresponding Help topic "Dimensioning" describes the controls in an order that corresponds to the order they gain focus in the "Dimensioning" dialog.
Confirmed on Ubuntu 16.04.
