[GNC] Entering a sell in a stock account has magic number changer

[Adrien Monteleone]

Sounds like a preference issue.

Check Preferences > Numbers, Date & Time > Automatic decimal point, and 
turn it off if it is checked. (you can also alter the number of decimal 
places in the very next preference)

If you don't have that preference turned on (checked) then something 
else is at play.

I don't recall if that preference is on by default. I have had it off as 
long as I can recall (several years) and GnuCash is generally not in the 
habit of changing your preferences on upgrade, so if it was off before, 
it should still be off.

Regards,
Adrien

This is very counter-intuitive, frustrating, time-wasting!  If the 3 numbers do not agree and I choose a price recalculate, my entered shares and value should be unchanged!  This is such a bad upgrade from past behaviors!
