Description Neil Williams 2006-07-22 21:43:06 UTC 
This is Debian bug #379338 (minor)
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=379338

Entering an Opening Balance that is not a whole number, causes the display of a fraction string:

In GBP:
15.25 == 15 + 1/4
9.50 == 9 + 1/2

(Also happens with other currencies.)

This behaviour is unexpected - maybe a comment in the dialogue should be added if the currency selected in the first page of the druid is not going to be used to determine the currency fraction.

Naw, we should just use the correct gnc_numeric -> string printing function.

I also encountered fractions in this wizard. I was using AUD [Australian Dollars].

r15842.  We need to ensure the denominator of the parsed amount is in the SCU of the account so printing works. :/
