Correction: This is the Fancy Invoice _report_ with the Default 
_stylesheet_.

I tried generating a new instance of this report instead of reusing the 
one that I've had open for ages with my custom settings applied: Reports 
 > Business > Fancy Invoice; Options (button); Invoice number / Select 
(button); enter search term; double-click the invoice; click "OK" on the 
Fancy Invoice dialog after making no other changes. The Quantity, 
Discount %, and Total columns display with two decimal places as 
intended. The Unit Price column still displays with four.
