Example of numerical artefact
Steps to reproduce:
1. In Draw/Impress insert a dimension line.
2. In the context menu of the dimension line, choose "Dimensions...".
3. In the Dimensioning dialog increase stepwise the value of "Decimal places"
and observe the Preview field (the default value by two decimal places is
5.73 " and the upper limit of decimal places is 99).
Decimal Preview field
places [inch]
2 5.73
3 5.73
4 5.7299
5 5.72992
6 5.729921
7 5.7299213
8 5.72992126
9 -2.147483648
Notice that: 2^31 = 2,147,483,648
Continuing the "exercise"...
10 -.2147483648
11 0.-2147483648
12 0.0-2147483648
and so on...
However the effect not limited to the Preview field in the Dimensioning dialog.
4. Close the Dimensioning dialog.
5. Set the width of the dimension line to 5 inches (I used that value
in the attached .odg file) and increase the number of decimal places
via the Dimensioning dialog.
Observe the effect starting with 9 decimal places.
Expected result: no numerical artefacts
Question: what it the rationale behind such a large allowable number
of decimal places i.e. 99?
