Description

Calculating area using field calculator results in faulty numbers. Calculating area using Vector --> Geometry Tools --> Export/Add Geometry Columns works.

I'm on a mac, using 2.8.1.

Attached is an example. gardenArea was calculated using field calculator, area was calculated using Export/Add Geometry Columns. Also not sure why it's an integer and not float.
