Sketch Offset UI - impossible to set for small areas?

Open a new document and draw 1x4 mm rectangle. Try to do an offset of 0.1 mm towards the interior. I find that impossible because: OnShape will set a 5 mm default offset and tell you that it cannot create it (fair), but you cannot edit the offset size until it is created (fail!). Once you have flipped the direction, this is irreversible.

Any advice to go around this bug?

    I'm having the same problem and it's driving me nuts! Where can I change the default offset so that a legitimate profile can be made?

    Note that entering a negative number doesn't solve the problem.

    In order to get around the default offset, simply select the offset feature, and then select a line/curve/etc and drag in the direction of the offset. This will also select the entire chain at once!
