Previously you could bring up the measurement line with CMD+CTRL+ALT – it no longer works?
3.2 (3180)
Works for me. Is the measurement line activated (View → Show Measurement Line) when holding down Command-Control-Option?
I think the behaviour is different since 3.2. Previously cmd-ctrl-opt would show the measurement line no matter if the menu option “Show Measurement Line” was checked. I found the old behaviour more practical.

I have described similar problem here recently:
For me, it came up with 3152 and it only affects the temporarily shown line with cmd-ctrl-opt. Really loved this shortcut as its very handy and also more unobtrusive than the always on measurement line.

Yes I agree. It was much more efficient before. Now I have to:
- Press CMD+CTRL+ALT. Then take my right hand off the mouse to the keyboard to hit M.
- Bring my hand back to the mouse to adjust the measurement line.
- Bring my hand back to the keyboard to hit M to disable it.
Whereas previously I could just hold CMD+CTRL+ALT and move the adjustment line and let go to to deactivate without having to move my hand.
I’m a little bit confused, why do you press M? CMD+CTRL+ALT+M updates all metrics for me? Or is it a customized shortcut?
But indeed, it’s more cumbersome now as the measurement line needs to be first activated by one shortcut (requiring both hands cnrtl+cmd+L) and then another one to adjust its height (cntl+opt+cmd). Whereas previously everything could be handled very quickly in one go (and with one hand).
I have fixed the measurement line in Text mode.

It seems like in 3.2 (3181) the measurement line is working again with the ctrl+option+cmd temporary shortcut but it became invisible.
Now I fixed it for good.
Well… It just quit on me… No values anymore

Can you post a screenshot?
While in measure mode, can you click next to the cursor?
