Fix the transfer dialog / exchange-rate dialog so it doesn't round the values input by the user. (#106332)
And then I forgot to tell you that it was in CVS. My bad. I'll put in a bug report.

In all this you never state what version of GnuCash you are using. However, I did test this with 1.8-CVS and the problem is still there. Most likely the problem is that the rate calculations are limited to 6 decimal spaces, causing rounding to occur..
So, yes, please file a bug report.

Somebody let me know if I should file a bug. Gnucash appear to be doing its math wrong when you transfer money from a normal asset account (USD) to a stock asset account (with some other commodity)
1. Make a new commodity 2. Make a new stock account that uses that commodity 3. Transfer money from any USD asset account to that stock account 4. Enter 6.50 as the amount 5. Set the accounts appropriate. The currency transfer part of the dialog will enable itself 6. Enter 0.644 as the 'to-amount' 7. Click back in the amount field and Gnucash will compute the price 8. Gnuash says that "1 foo = 10.092854 USD" 9. My calculator, however, says that the price should be 10.093168
That was a real world example. You might ask why I care about tenths of a cent. Here is a better contrived one that is obvious Enter 1746.08 as the amount Enter 56 as the 'to-amount' The price should be *exactly* 31.18, but Gnucash says 31.181790
If hit Ok, and then try to make another transfer of 31.18 (1 share). Gnucash tries to help and puts "0.9999" in the to-amount box for me. So then I have to go in and fix it.
All of the stock accounts in question track commodities to 1/10000, which should be more than enough precision.
Thanks
