[GNC] GNU Cash not performing math functions correctly on entry [SOLVED]

[Michael Campbell]

Fixed. Eventually.

I unchecked the "Numbers, Date, Time" -> "Automatic decimal point" check 
box in settings where it was set to 2 decimal places and now amounts 
will be calculated correctly.

Is anyone else able to replicate this bug?

Regards,

Michael Campbell
