The ruler functionality is compromised by Graphics View / Grid settings.
To show the full Ruler functionality "Automatic scale grid" has to be activated. I think that is not intended behavior.
Case: Appearance / Show rulers = activated
Application Preferences / Graphics View / Grid
on - Automatically scale grid
on - Automatically scale meta grid
off - Solid grid lines
= Rulers visible
= Graduation visible
= Labels visible
off - Automatically scale grid
on - Automatically scale meta grid
off - Solid grid lines
= Rulers visible
= Graduation invisible
= Labels invisible

It's correct that if the grid is not shown (too dense) the ruler does not display any ticks / labels either.
In other words, ruler and grid are directly linked. This is important to make sure the ruler never shows a label / tick very close but not exactly corresponding with the grid. Unfortunately, I don't have a better idea for this. In my opinion, ruler and grid have to match, everything else would be extremely confusing or would require a plethora of user preferences.
