--- Comment #7 from Boudewijn OVERGAAUW <[email protected]> ---
I encountered this issue while using simple additions and subtractions in
formulas in a simple bookkeeping spreadsheet to verify that amounts add up.
Because of this error, these formulas simply don't work.

I would not have been surprised to see such errors in multiplication and
division calculations, but not with additions and subtractions. It may not be a
problem for many practical purposes, but I expect the use of comparison
formulas to be far from exotic, so "many" is definitely not "almost all".

As for the fact that many popular software programs deal only with floating
point arithmetic and therefore have this error, that should not be a reason for
Calc to behave the same - erroneous - way IMHO.

I could live with a work-around, if one exists.
