The Symbol and Shape feature was fixed in the V25.10 pre-release dated 9/16/25. 

Also, the new Min/Max Assembly Polarity Dot was added to Options. 

The Chamfer Polarity is the default setting but users can now switch to an Assembly Dot.

In 25.10, 9/16/2025 prelease version the bug with Symbol and Shape Properties window has been fixed.

I don't use Altium, so I can't comment on the translator's accuracy.

Thanks Tom, for your great support
I have get  your point in length, but for line width i notice below:-
1-Silkscreen
however i have selected value line width =0.05 mm and select Apply & Done, a

and then checked found it 0.15 mm (PCb tool)


2-Assembly
however i select 0.05 mm in line width

i found it in altium as 0.025 mm

please can check and have explanation what happen and causes for this

I created a Silkscreen Plus + symbol in Footprint Expert 1.00 mm X 0.15 mm line width. 

Here is the Footprint Expert Symbol dialog box:


 
I translated the footprint to Altium and here are the Plus Symbol dimensions. 



Here is the Altium Properties for the Polarity Marker: 


 
It seems to be working 100% correct. 

Can you confirm that the issue you reported is working correctly?

But also, I found in line width changed to 0.254 mm other layer assembly.
 
However, I changed the line width to 0.05 mm.

Footprint Expert reports the length of the lines forming the cross as the maximum value.

Most CAD programs do not account for round ends when reporting the length of the lines.

If you subtract the width (0.050) from the length reported by Footprint Expert (1.016), you get the result reported by Altium Designer (0.966).

I have '+' polarity marker in Silkscreen and Assembly layers with same dimension as line width = 0.05 mm and size = 1.016 mm

However, when open in Altium Designer the '+' symbol has different dimension values.

Footprint Expert:



Altium Assembly:



Silkscreen:
