Description

This looks like it is just a corner case remaining after the fix for #5173.

A) QGIS allows me to create a column with precision = length. I'm not sure if this itself is a bug, but it then behaves strangely with that column:
B) e.g. if I create a field with precision = length = 2, when editing a feature I can save in that field either three digits before the decimal point or two after it (is this a bug or a feature of the shapefile format? Perhaps it is related to Christine's comment at #5546)
C) but the gui lets me put in a lot more digits both before and after the decimal point.
D) and even if I save the edit I can't see the "rounding" that occurs unless I reopen the attribute table.

Apologies if I haven't chosen the most appropriate category - I'm wondering if it should be "GUI".
