Having read the linked document, I understand that this is a representation
issue, however, complicating a users calculations to simplify an internal
representation issue is frankly not good.

Almost every other calculation system on the planet performs the action of
simple addition without slowing down significantly or without needing user
intervention.

If the system must use a single representation that is incapable of accuracy,
it should be able to flag those representations, and take mitigating actions.
Fixed value double integer calculation and other solutions are available to
aleviate the floating point issue.

Forcing a rounding calculation potentially introduces errors on the user side.

There is no point using any form of rounding if the values do not ever have any
additional digits!

You cannot mark as resolved just because there is a work around.

The issue should not be occuring in the first instance. 1.11 + 2.22 should
always equal 3.33 without any need for rounding. The Calc application is
performing some function on the values resulting in 1.11 + 2.22 being evaluated
to 3.3299. This is clearly an internal error!

Do your users a favour and dont jump to conclusions.

Expected. See
https://help.libreoffice.org/7.6/en-GB/text/scalc/01/calculation_accuracy.html?DbPAR=CALC
and https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/Calc/Accuracy

Use proper rounding in calculation steps, in this case to 2 decimals.

An update to LibreOffice is being installed. Another test will be performed to
test if the issue has already been addressed.
