Cannot set floating point to zero

I have a numeric control where I want to set the Digits of Precision to zero.  In Numeric Properties, I set Format and Precision to Floating Point, Digits = 0 and Precision Type to Digits of Precision.  When closing the Properties dialog however, the number of decimal points returns back to the number of decimal point before making the change.  I can get the numeric control to display decimal point greater than zero, but not zero.  I just installed LV v.8.20.
 
What am I doing wrong?

This sounds like a previously reported bug.

Hi DJ,

No, you just found a bug (look here) You can trie to use the integer display format.

Hi DJ,

I just discovered the same thing myself with a numeric indicator in LV 8.2.  It seems like it won't let it set to zero, but returns it back to the previously set value, which may be 1 or 6 or something else.

The good news is it works properly in LV 8.2.1

Yes, I upgraded to v.8.2.1 and the problem is now fixed.  Thank you for your follow up.
