Numeric control formatting glitch

[jslowey-cpe]

I've encountered a formatting glitch with the Web UI numeric control. It's easy to reproduce:

Take a standard numeric control, and set Interval to 0.1

Use the buttons to increase the control value to 6, which is displayed as 5.99999999999999. This behavior continues until the value is increased to 10.1, where it reverts to normal. 22.5 is displayed as 22.5000000000001, and so on.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

I wouldn't call this a formatting glitch, but instead a floating point rounding error.  But definitely a good catch!

Agreed. I'm going to submit this to R&D for further investigation, and I will have a corrective action request reference number for you later on today. Thanks for the bug report!
