Thank you Chris and Dan. As Dan has found, the issue is not with the Paypal template, which was using the truncate_decimal filter as expected, but rather the issue of scientific numbers being stored in the database and then passed to the template.
For my test order the Shipping Discount, Tax, Discount amount should all be stored as 0.0000000000 in the product order record. Unit tax, Line item tax and Line item discount should also be 0.0000000000 for the Order Line Item. The Subtotal (20.0000000000), Shipping cost (4.0000000000) and Total (24.0000000000) were saved in the product order as expected. I'm really sorry but I don't have the Python/Django skills to work on a patch for an issue as complex as this. Unfortunately I have never submitted a ticket before either! Are there guidelines I can follow for this? Thanks.
