Description Thomas Bushnell, BSG 2004-08-19 08:42:34 UTC 
Create a commodity traded in 1/1000000.  (Six decimal places.)
Create an account denominated in that commodity.
Make some trades.  Notice that all six decimal places are being correctly recorded.
Save and Quit.  Restart Gnucash.  Open the account in question.
Notice that the share amounts have now been rounded to five decimal places.

Severity critical because this causes loss of data.

Can this bug be reopened?
I'm experiencing this in 2.6.11 at the moment but I've had the problem for as long as I've been using Gnucash (years).

To me it doesn't look like this bug is related to 122878, this one is connected to how data is written or read from disk while the other bug is about what can be entered as exchange rate in a transaction (but I guess they could be related).

Specifically I'm seeing this with an account in XAU.
