6 digit decimal stock purchase

[Michael Carpino]

I checked the ledger width and it looked fine.  I widened it even further
and it still changes it to only 5 digits.  Yes it will round.  To clarify
my issue is with the number of shares.  I entered the shares from my
statement which is 1.083842 then enter the dividend amount which is $16.47
hit the enter key and boom it changes to 1.08384 and it drops the 2.
