Re: [Gretl-devel] Some bugs
Thanks very much for these. I have noticed a few small things:
1)- The reformat button in the "display data" window does not work anymore.
2)- I think it would be much better if opened scripts are added to the
tabbed editor instead of opening in a separate window each time.
3)- Here is an interesting one: In the model window, click on say
"Latex" and, without selecting a menu item, move the pointer to other
menu titles. When you come to "Windows" the title is not highlighted
and you cannot move to to other titles anymore.
4)- This is actually a bit related to the parallel discussion on
automatically created series. In a scatter plot with a regression line
with inverse fit, choosing "ols estimates" creates a new i_x series.
Now this series is shown in the model specification window and can be
used for later regressions (which I like in this particular case),
however, it is never shown in the main window.
Best regards

Ah, you're right, the numbers are stored to only 3 digits in
the ods file. I was looking at the file using gnumeric, which
showed extra stuff when I reformatted the cells. But the real
point is that the "extra stuff" is in fact there in memory.
For example, the number 30976.746 cannot be represented in a C
double: the closest you get is 30976.745999999999185.
LibreOffice is just sanitizing what you're allowed to see
based on your "ROUND(x,3)" instruction, it's not magically
producing a floating point number with an infinite number of
trailing zeros.
That said, I've slightly modified gretl's CSV printing
apparatus so it's a bit less inclined to print trailing junk.
Thanks for the correlogram graph page test case. This should
now be OK in CVS and snapshots. The problem was specific to
the case where EPS rather than PDF graphs are produced.

It's now marked for translation.
