User(s) can reproduce this bug

In the debugger's watch list float and double inputs are truncated while the compiled code correctly puts out the decimal values.

Details (expand)

Visual Studio 2012

Add "0.5f", "0.99f", "1.4" ... to the watch list

English

Windows 7 SP1

German

The decimal places are zeroed, which results in an output of "0.00000 - float", "0.00000 - float" and "1.00000 - double" in the input example above

"0.50000 - float", "0.99000 - float" and "1.40000 - double"
