Sounds like that's the fix for the copy-paste buffer. Although surely the fix
is to just display accurately with appropriate rounding no matter the column
witth?

My Casio calculator has 8 decimal display, it only shows 0.2

Casio never shows "0.1999999"

I don't want to sound like a broken record, it's obvious the user only needed
0.2 right? What user would ever want 0.199999999999999 ?
