What happened?

When I budget using the whole numbers I sometimes get very annoying red zeros, which @j-f1 and I see as an unintended consequence of getting rid of the decimals. I've raised the issue on the support channel on discord

To reproduce

  1. Go to rules
  2. Tick "Hide decimals place"
  3. Set a budget to 100 to new category "Power"
  4. Add a transaction towards the new category "Power" of 100.01
  5. In budget, the number will appear as -0 in red.

I'll have a look at how to a best address this, but the first thing that comes to mind is to truncate the number when evaluating it when decimals are hidden.

Bump to this bug. Is there a bug bounty program? I would happily pay $30 to have it fixed, since it is my primary frustration as opposed to other paid services.

My two cents (as it were): I think the behavior is almost correct - cents should be included in all calculations, even when hidden. However, when evaluating if a category is overspent, -0.99 should count as NOT over budget.

I would happily pay $30 to have it fixed, since it is my primary frustration as opposed to other paid services. My two cents (as it were): I think the behavior is almost correct - cents *should* be included in all calculations, even when hidden. However, when evaluating if a category is overspent, -0.99 should count as NOT over budget.

I see it as an UI issue, not a logic one. When the decimals are off, behind the scene each and every cent should be accounted for, but the view should reflect more lenient approach to balancing, allowing for overspending up to 0,50 and rounding it to -1 otherwise. Similarly, I think that the monthly totals should follow the same route.
