Description

Due to a potential bug in BigDecimal there is a bug, when you use BigDecimal
with a NumberConverter.

Like
<tr:inputText value="#

{bean.number}

" ...>
<tr:convertNumber />
</tr:inputText>

For instance, when the entered value is "333.111" the actual stored value is 333.1109999999999899955582804977893829345703125

There is a mathematic explanation for that in here:
