On those machines it certainly *still is* a nice feature. Yes, some small businesses still use 40–50 year old adding machines. Why? Because they still work and are always at hand. You don't have to open an app with 'features', you just do quick math. (and yes, some companies still manufacture

Years ago - like in the 60s and 70s, there were adding machines - things that were replaced with what we now call calculators - that had a ‘feature’ - in some case the only mode of operating - that the decimal point was assumed two to the left of the last digit. This was a great time saver -

I assumed that with auto-decimal on, entering "6" means ".06"... if I want .06, I'll enter ".06", so I don't want this. I always assumed it works this way in the calculations, too. On Fri, Dec 1, 2023 at 1:40 PM Adrien Monteleone < adrien.montele...@lusfiber.net> wrote: > Indeed, I'm not sure

Indeed, I'm not sure how it worked for me earlier, but it is failing for each type of operand. It seems the code for auto-decimal is occurring with each numerical entry, rather than the final result. I'd call that a bug. Regards, Adrien On 12/1/23 12:52 PM, Fred Bone wrote: On 01 December

That sounds like a 'smallest commodity fraction' issue off the top of my head. Check your settings for your affected currency. Another place to check is the setting for automatic decimal points. Regards, Adrien On 11/30/23 4:20 PM, Michael Campbell via gnucash-user wrote: Hello All, Long
