    Adding 19% to 8511.22 renders different results depending on whether you use the % button or multiply by 1.19. The difference is more than 0.04. Which es enough to make you look stupid when writing an invoice.

    And do not ask Google for 8511.22 + 19%. :-)

    Update: I have smart readers! Ben has nailed the problem. Calculator is truncating 8511.22 to 8511 before calculating the percentage. Other readers are reporting that they are not seeing this error. Current assumption: This only happens on Intel Macs.

    Update: This is only getting better. See this video and find out that the bug is related to the locale in use:
