It’s a non-problem. That’s the way GnuCash is supposed to display prices when force-to-decimal is enabled, with two more decimal places than the currency. When force-to-decimal is off prices will display as fractions if they can’t be presented exactly as a decimal. The Decimal places field in Preferences>Numbers, Date, Time is for how many decimal places to insert with the automatic decimal point feature. It has no effect on the display of numbers.
