Increment bug in repeat loops

[stephen barncard]

but it works if you set the numberformat  to match

on mouseUp

      put empty into  fld "results"

      --set the numberFormat to "#.##################"

      set the numberFormat to "#.#"

      put 0 into j

      repeat with i = 0 to 11 -- for demonstration

            add 0.1 to j

            put i & " : " & j & return after fld "results"

      end repeat

end mouseUp



0 : 0.1

1 : 0.2

2 : 0.3

3 : 0.4

4 : 0.5

5 : 0.6

6 : 0.7

7 : 0.8

8 : 0.9

9 : 1

10 : 1.1

11 : 1.2
