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" > > In this example, it will never be more than 1 decimal place needed right? > That's unknown. Copy-pasting via clipboard there's no information how much > precision the target needs. 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 ?</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
