FWIW, my experience with LO 24.2 and 24.8beta1 on Windows is different than
what you report. Actually, my experience is even different between these 2
branches.

Moreover, the amount of decimals displayed under each condition (e.g. zoom
level) varies, and it is not always "more decimals displayed when zooming-in",
nor the opposite. I assume it varies according to some algorithm, which is what
would need to be changed in order to improve the resulting behavior.

Probably "improving" under certain conditions would make it worse for other
situations.

Which confirms what I posted in comment 10.

Why exactly? What if the specific numbers give you one behavior, and testing
with different characters (which, generally speaking, might imply different
widths for each glyph using a non-mono-spaced font) shows a different behavior?
Some proportional fonts would show the numbers _almost_ as mono-spaced, but it
is not a rule at all.

What if you tried (each on different columns):
 =1/9
 =1/3
 =1/7
 =8/9
...respectively, and with different fonts and font sizes (again, each on
different columns)?

And what happens when changing the cell format, instead of using
General/Standard?

AFAIK, the only way to make sure that the "###" is never displayed is to use
the "Shrink to fit cell size" alignment. I would suggest simply using it.

As a side note, alignment of numbers (e.g. for accounting) is _much_ more
important than whether "###" is shown under some zoom level.
