With that new feature the information tool shows the absolute paper units in the print preview mode instead of drawing units.
So you can determine the exact size of an entity in the printout without manual calculating with the drawing units and the scale factor.

Seems to be a duplicate of FS#1187 ...

It is hard to understand what exactly is preferred ...
There is this request and FS#1187, FS#1505

Common practice is to draw all 1:1.
At the moment the Model_Space size is returned.
