[Bug 882036] Re: Incorrect float rounding when setting float field with too high precision

 

Setting importance to High may look overrated here, because this only
happens when you purposefully enter float values with a too high
precision, while you could just round it yourself and input it at the
proper precision directly if you see the system does not do what you
expect. Nevertheless this can be seen as a minor case of data
corruption, hence requires High importance, IMO.

Title:
  Incorrect float rounding when setting float field with too high
  precision

Status in OpenERP GTK Client:
  Confirmed
Status in OpenERP Server:
  Confirmed
Status in OpenERP Server 6.0 series:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Concerns 6.0 and trunk.
  If you define a precision of 0.01, the rounding of 0.125 must be 0.13 and not 0.12. The error is in the call of the format string "%.2f"%val which introduces a mathematical error. The round function must be called to apply the correct rounding before formatting the string. It should be:
  "%.2f"%round(val*100)/100
  Fix class digits_change of class float in the server. BUT fix also the gtk client AND web client as they all have that error (I let you find the right line)
