Description Ron Yorston 2018-05-03 08:54:23 UTC 
Description of problem:

Asset prices in accounts are displayed as 'M + N/D', e.g. '1 + 3845/5897', unless the transaction is selected, when it's displayed as a decimal (1.652026).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gnucash-3.0-1.fc28.x86_64

How reproducible:

It's inconsistent.  The vast majority of prices are displayed as fractions but a few (e.g. 1.475, 1.39) are decimals.


Additional info:

Previous versions of gnucash always displayed prices as decimals.
Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2018-05-03 13:50:53 UTC 
- what locale?
- what pricing source?
Comment 2 Ron Yorston 2018-05-03 14:17:22 UTC 
Locale is en_GB.

Prices were either entered by hand or, when a transaction was being repeated, by adjusting the number of shares or amount and then selecting 'Price' in the 'Recalculate Transaction' dialog.
Comment 3 Ron Yorston 2018-10-06 08:35:00 UTC 
Fixed in 3.3. Though for some reason the developers have left the default as displaying fractional prices. To revert to decimals go to Edit->Preferences->General and check 'Force Prices to display as decimals'.
