Point Calculations in Release Plans consider decimals?

We are seeing an issue with Point Total calculation in Release Plans. If a story has a decimal point value (eg. .5) the story is not counted in the total for the Release / Iteration. It appears as though .5 is being treated as zero. Can someone please confirm or deny? Thanks!

Right, in the Eclipse Client we do not handle floating points correctly.
The Web Client does it right.

Is this going to be corrected? Note that I don't see it working in the Web Client. I have an Epic with 3 children stories. Each story is 0.5 points. The Epic shows as 0/0 points even though two of the stories are complete.

Any update from the RTC folks regarding if and when this problem with the 0.5 point stories is going to be corrected?

Hi Nick

Best bet is to check the defect status on the RTC project. I did a quick search and did find this entry:

Feel free to add to the discussion
