I have a number that has 8 decimal places (0.12345678). When I use the toolbar "decrease decimal" button to hide decimals places it works fine. But then when I use the "increase decimal" button it rounds the number and shows zeros. i.e 0.12345678 --> decrease twice to 0.123457 --> increase twice to 0.12345700

Any idea as to why this is happening? Is there some setting that needs reset?
 
Tools / options / Calculation / Uncheck 'Precision as displayed'
