<pre>Internally the canvas already positions to 10^-5m increments--or 1/100mm--but
by design we limit the GUI widgets to just 2 decimal places. So at best we can
position in 10^-4m increments, or the rounded conversion from other measure
units (TWIPS, pts, px, ch).
For now the project calculates positions as 32-bit integers.
Achieving higher precision requires we move to floating point calculations
which is being looked at but is a long way from implementation.
For now--increasing the UI to 3 decimal places of duplicate <a class="bz_bug_link

as far as we can go to expose the limited precision possible with current
framework.
