Description
When entering answers for numerical questions in classic quizzes, numbers that have decimal values stop working correctly after about 5 decimal spaces. The answer will either change to zero (or whatever whole number you are using) when you click out of the box (Exact Answer, Range), or will start rounding incorrectly (Precision).
Expected Behavior
Numbers with multiple decimal spaces should be able to be entered and saved in numerical questions.
Workaround
No workaround exists at this time.
Steps to Reproduce
-
Create a classic quiz.
-
Add a numerical answer question.
-
In the answers, try adding an answer with a more than 5 decimal spaces, and then click out of the box.
