There appears to be a relevant entry [0] in the 5.12 release notes:

     Bug 799602 - Unit Price on Invoice will NOT display as decimals

Based on what little I grasped from a quick review of that bug, I 
changes Preferences > Numbers, Date, Time: "Force Prices to display as 
decimals." to ticked, verified that "Decimal places" is set to "2", 
applied, and restarted the app. No change. The invoice still displays 
with four decimal places.
