Maybe you didn't understand this issue?

287.950000000001
____-----------^ <- 12th digit. You can easily see this by setting Calc to
format a number with "12 decimal places"
I don't think I can explain it any better. However, if you right click on a
cell with that number, and select "Format Cells..." you can experiment
yourself.

Users expect decimal arithmetic to work. Whatever a developer using single or
double precision floating point thinks - the user doing accounts will still
expect it to work normally in decimal. Like it does on any calculator I have on
my desk.

It's very easy to see deducting a whole number from a larger number with only
two decimal places... should only give a number with two decimal places. The
rest should be zero. That's an easy fix isn't it Mike?
