Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

In a split transaction, I often use math in the Payment and Deposit fields to calculate things like tax, so I put in the split item amount before tax and enter *1.07875 for our tax rate.

When I enter 6.78*1.07875, I get this value: 731,392.50
When I enter 6.78*1.0787, I get this value: 73,135.86
When I enter 6.78*1.078, I get this value: 7,308.84
When I enter 6.78*1.07, I get this value: 6.42

This makes me think that the math doesn't handle more than 3 decimal places properly.

In my settings, I am using the Numbers format "1,000.33" and Hide decimal places is unchecked.

What error did you receive?

No response

This is a result of https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/pull/1029, which was intended to make number parsing format style agnostic. (fyi @chylex). This is definitely an important use case we should support, not sure how best to balance parsing different number styles with handling non-currency amounts here.

Just reverted this change in #1144, so the next release should go back to the old behavior.
