Angle Display is decimal although the decimal display is disabled in Application Preferences.

Format should be 17° 31' 52" instead of 17.531111.

I can confirm that this is not implemented.

Seems one can't have it both ways.
Proper (subjective) or rather correct.

- Radians is the best option: 1ULP of 0-2pi is up to 8,882e-16 off.
- Then comes decimal degrees: 1ULP of 0-360° is up to 5,684e-14 off.
- Degrees-minutes-seconds: 1ULP is 1 second or up to 2,778e-4 off.
Adding fractions of seconds isn't a solution either:
e.g. 1ULP is 1/100 second or up to 2,778e-6 off.

BTW:
Values in the property editor aren't formatted with a comma either if that is the native preference.
