Hi, ok that is good! Ok where we agree is that the increment/decrement issue needs fixing! But how should we fix that? We have lots of such buttons. Like Environment Lighting Energy: Show the third decimal there or let it change the second decimal?
Forget about the rounding, that can indeed cause some confusion. For the hiding of zeros topic: It would "flicker" quite a bit when the value change it's decimal amount. :) So lets forget that as well. A Indicator like Ton propsed it would be good!
