Bug in precision handling of value for wallet_transfer of UIA

[vikram]

This will be fixed in the next release: https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/issues/1143

This bug only affected powers of 10 less than 1, and would round them up to the next power of ten.

Thank you for the report; we will take a look: https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/issues/1143

Just an update to narrow down the scope,               

A transfer value in a full unit is ok.  Eg.

testwallet (unlocked) >>> wallet_transfer 1 MYUIA test01 xxxxxx '1 xxxxxx'
TIMESTAMP           BLOCK     FROM                TO                  AMOUNT                  MEMO                                        FEE                 ID
======================================================================================================================================================================
2014-12-14T00:40:20 PENDING   test01              xxxxxx              1.0000000 MYUIA        1 xxxxxx                                    0.50000 BTS         8ab1e2a6



While a fractional values < 0 are incorrect,

testwallet (unlocked) >>> wallet_transfer 0.01 MYUIA test01 xxxxxx '0.01 xxxxxx'
TIMESTAMP           BLOCK     FROM                TO                  AMOUNT                  MEMO                                        FEE                 ID     
======================================================================================================================================================================
2014-12-14T00:41:53 PENDING   test01              xxxxxx              0.1000000 MYUIA        0.01 xxxxxx                                 0.50000 BTS         8c6d2ae3

I transfer 0.01 UIA.  However the transaction records (and sends) a value of 0.1

testwallet (unlocked) >>> wallet_transfer 0.01 MYUIA test01 xxxxxx 'test123'
TIMESTAMP           BLOCK     FROM                TO                  AMOUNT                  MEMO                                        FEE                 ID
======================================================================================================================================================================
2014-12-13T21:43:14 PENDING   test01              xxxxxx              0.1000000 MYUIA         test123                                     0.50000 BTS         b2015456


UIA precision is 10^7

./client.rb bts2  blockchain_get_asset MYUIA | grep precision
  "precision": 10000000,


wallet_get_transaction txid, shows 10^6 sent (should be 10^5),
"trx": {
    "expiration": "2014-12-13T22:43:14",
    "delegate_slate_id": null,
    "operations": [
      {
        "type": "deposit_op_type",
        "data": {
          "amount": 1000000,
          "condition": {
            "asset_id": nnn,



I am running head revision, but *believe* I saw same behavior in a version compiled a couple of weeks ago

./client.rb bts2 about

(note, I changed the name of the UIA, to keep details private)
