I think I also experienced this behavior. I think to work around it I
pressed Enter on each of the existing transactions, starting from the
first. I guess that forces GnuCash to reevaluate each transaction with
the current precision setting, and for some reason existing
transactions affect future transactions. Or maybe all of the
transactions just have to have the same precision.
