Description

I think there is a bug with QGis 2.6 and dev (a68958f) with real attribute.

Into a column with real QGis round the last digit.

Example :
Add a column ELEVATION real "Length 6" and "Precision 2"
Add a point and into attribute "1000.25"
After saving the modification Qgis show as attribute "1000.20"

Normaly the "point" isn't into length.

This hack preserve last digit but allow unhautorized value. When you add a value you can do something like this: "12345.78". Normally, the max is "9999.99".

Probleme is that when you create a field with real(6,2) QGis create a DBF with real(7,2). Also, ShapeFile with real(6,2) are shown with real(5.2). You can see that with ogrinfo.

Thanks.

Actually that is just what the fix is supposed to do. QGIS (and for instance PostgreSQL) don't count the decimal point in - so 12345.78 corresponds to width 7, precision 2. OGR however includes the decimal point in the width - so 7,2 in QGIS has to become 8,2 in OGR.
