1. The change is caused by https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/129948; and
it made the display more *correct* WRT the actual value of 2697.0649999999996,
which is rightfully rounded to 2697.07. The reason why the calculation produces
that value is explained in FAQ [1].

2. In the specific case that Michael describes, where the rounding is not
intended just for display, but is the actual result of the calculation, the
*correct* thing to do *is* use of ROUND function.

3. But generally, the difference between the ROUND and display rounding is not
nice. I need to think how to fix this problem.

4. ady: please avoid emotional, unrelated phrases that don't add anything
useful to the issue, but make indirectly make others feel bad. I don't feel
comfortable working on this issue now, after your "contribution".
