Pro 2.7 - Change map coordinate display precision

I need to have two decimal places for the seconds in the coordinate tracker in the map view, the thing that tells your the coordinates of the cursor. Where can I change that?

From the location view dropdown

Under Location Units > Right-click on the particular value (Format Column)

Change Decimal places

Ensure DMS is marked as default

The Format Location Units in the drop down doesn't seem to show up in 2.7. I can set the DMS units through the options to 2 decimal places, but the coordinate tracker still doesn't and decimals for the seconds.

Did you change it under location units > Degree Minute Second? How does your option page look (screenshot)?

Does Refreshing the map help?

Is an upgrade to 2.8, an option?

It showed up correctly after a reset. The unit type changes instantly without restart but apparently precision sometimes needs a program reboot to show up.
