Bug? Format choices sometimes don't agree with the data type

I discovered (while experimenting) what seems to be a small bug when editing properties of numerics:

 

Unless the number is in an integer representation, the special integer formats (Decimal, hex, octal, binary) are greyed out.

So let's start out with a DBL numeric control and open the properties window. We can change the representation on the "data type" tab of the properties dialog to an integer (e.g. I32), and the control immediately changes color accordingly. However, if we go back to the formatting tab, the integer specific formats are still greyed out. They should now be accessible!

 

 

Only after exiting the properties dialog and opening it again, the correct format are no longer greyed and can now be selected.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will be notifying our Research and Development group as was this was a previous CAR that was believed to have been fixed in 2011.
