[GNC] Rounding issues with Stock

[Kalpesh Patel]

When you are entering the transaction, if you just provide the total shares ('Shares' column) and total amount ('Buy' or 'Sell' column) for the transaction and leaving Price blank will permit GNC to calculate the price per share which should be very close.

First, let me tell you I am a recent user of GNUCash, and by no means I am a bookkeeper or know a lot about accounting.
I am using the tool to keep control of some stock I own.

Here is my issue.
I have a DRIP on the stock. My broker says the reinvested price of each share was $26.4884, and they bought 4 shares for a total value of $105.9536.

Now, I cannot enter four decimals in the buy (I do not know if it is a setting), even though the price handles them.
When I recorded the transaction in GNUCash y entered 4 shares and a buy of
$105.95 and a price of $26.4875 was calculated.

If I enter 4 shares and the price of $26.4884, it recalculates it to $26.4875.

How do I solve this? I want to keep track of the correct numbers.

Thanks for your help.
