The fact that the unit wasn't understood by the input subsystem has
nothing to do with the fact that nothing was displayed.  The input
subsystem just continues with a "null" unit.  Thus, changing the unit
to "fake" one (I'd recommend the empty string ("") for a dimensionless
unit) won't affect the display (or lack thereof).  You must have other
problems.
