Problem entering transactions in stock account register

Hi,

When entering stock purchases into a stock account, in some instances 
gnucash incorrectly adjusts the values entered. For example, The value 
of a purchase of 130 shares at 3.3125 per share is 430.625, which when 
rounded is 430.63.

When you enter the number of shares and the price per share and press 
enter, gnucash calculates the total cost as 430.62 and adjusts the price 
per share to 3.31246.

If you then override the price per share to 3.3125 and the total cost to 
430.63, gnucash adjusts the number of shares to 130.00151 despite the 
fact that the fraction traded for the share is set to 1/1.

Regards,

Richard.
