WM doing strange things to my STS figures

Help! Whenever I use the Workout Manager to input my STS results, I've been getting a couple of strange things happening. Firstly, whenever I go into a new STS workout the 1RM figures are always listed as being less than the Target Weight figures and to adjust them I have to click on the little calculator icon at the end of each individual row for it to adjust itself to the correct figure. Secondly, once I've completed an STS workout and entered then saved my actual weights used figures into the workout (via the calendar), when I go back into the workout all the figures for Actual Weights have been changed to strange amounts! Huh?? (I'm using Firefox and Windows Vista if that means anything.)
 
Workout Manager problem

Is it possible to attach a screen shot? I've checked a few STS cards and I don't really see any problems with the 1RM result being lower than the Target Weight result. You also may want to try cleaning your cache.

Sorry I don't know how to attach a screen shot, but the problem only appears to happen when I use the edit function in the Calendar rather than just go through the "print an STS card" option in the Workout Manager. I have put Disc 30 in my Calendar for today (Wed Jun 29) just to show you - hope you're able to have a look at it and see what I mean. Also, why would it change my Actual Weight figures? After I input them then save, they all change into strange strange figures like 2.1, 4.2 etc etc when the WM doesn't seem to cater for these type of increments. And I didn't input these figures in the first place! Why would it change Actual Weights Used figures I have inputted?
(And please don't laugh at my embarrassingly light weights!!)
 
I realise I may not have explained myself clearly so will try again - many apologies for causing confusion. Have just done a test using the Calendar and an STS workout.

So, this is what happens.

Issue 1 - 1RM and Target Weight figures

I open Calendar, then click Add Workout, then I selected STS Disc 34 for today (30 June). I scroll down to see all the workout details and THIS is where I get the strange Target Weight figures showing a higher weight than the 1RM figures. I then click "save" on the bottom and go back into the workout - when I go back into it AFTER I have saved it, it seems to fix this issue so think I have sorted that one out.

Issue 2 - Actual Weights figures have changed (and I didn't change them!)

As for issue with the Actual Weight figures, using the same workout (STS Disc 34 on 30th June), I clicked on the workout in the Calendar, clicked "Show Details", clicked "Edit Workout", as a test I then input the exact same weights as the Target Weights for EVERY exercise in this workout, saved it, then went back into it and lo and behold, ALL the Actual Weight figures have changed. If you go into this workout you'll see what I mean.
 
I follow you until you get to: as a test I then input the exact same weights as the Target Weights for EVERY exercise in this workout, saved it...

Where and why are you entering "the exact same weights as the Target Weights for EVERY exercise" ? I need to know the field you're doing this in?

I tested disc 34 and everything seemed fine.

I would also suggest cleaning out your cache. You may just have a hard cache issue. But still let me know the answer to my question above. This will help me to more accurately test the problem you reported.
 
Thank you so much for your speedy reply.

Clearing the cache didn't help. I've tested this on another computer and it's doing exactly the same thing.

I'm doing this through the Calendar to show you that the Workout Manager is changing my "Actual Weights" figures. eg

I have put STS Disc 36 on my Calendar on 1st and 2nd July - both were input on different computers (1st July on one computer, 2nd July on a different computer) - just to show it's not the computer that's the problem as it's doing the exact same thing on both computers.

So, I go to "Calendar", click the workout (STS Disc 36) shown on 1st or 2nd July, "Show Details", "Edit Workout"

For this workout, the first two exercises are fine, then when you get to the third exercise:-

Target Weight is listed as 8kg, I enter 8 as the Actual Weight used in the Actual Weight field, save, go back into the workout, Actual Weight is now listed as 7.7

Also, next exercise, Target Weight = 11; I entered 11 for Actual Weight, saved workout, went back into it ("Show Details", "Edit Workout") and the Actual Weight figure had changed to 10.9

Next - Target Weight = 3, I entered Actual Weight as 3; saved workout, went back into workout, Actual Weight figure had changed to 2.7


Hope that clears it up and hope you can help.
 
Rounding off error

This problem is just a rounding off error for people using the metric system. I've think we have now fixed this. Please test again and after refreshing let us know if it is now working for you.
 
It works!

Seems to work fine now - thanks! Though I have to say, would be extremely useful for the WM to allow half kilo increments - please please please consider this next time you upgrade the system.

Thanks again. :)
