Please hold on.

* I also see this in vstudio 5.0 b27
And I assume you working with 4.9

We will discuss this here asap, then inform you.

Also please be aware, that in general case, FLOAT/DOUBLE types are
approximate.

Computer use fixed count of BITs  ... But in any range, e..g (1, 2)
Exists endless count of float numbers.

So computer in any case cannot reproduce ALL and EACH float value ...
