Okay. The setting was foreign enough that it didn't register. I come more from a background of strict type languages, so didn't run into it much. However now that you mention it, that does ring a "duhish" bell. Still, it is not something that a user should _ever_ see. > > Also, especially while working on orders, I see some very weird > > "remaining" values--starting at zero, I might add a product worth a > > hundred bucks, another worth fifty, another worth twenty five and change, > > update some quantities, and the like.

Agreed, which is why I didn't bring it up before now. I was hoping it might get ironed out in the upgrade to 1.2.13, but no such luck. It doesn't particularly matter to me that it happens, but a symptom without a well understood problem, can often lead to unrecognized or unseen symptoms, which can come back to take a chunk out of your posterior some time down the road. So I am bringing it up, not because I care, but because it concerns me that such a weird bug is happening with no explanation--what else might be happening, behind the scenes? Thanks for your response--I was beginning to think that my posts were only coming to myself.
