[issue3404] wrong precision in float formatting or doc error

[Hagen Fürstenau]

Hagen Fürstenau <hfuerstenau at gmx.net> added the comment:

Just found it documented for the % operator: There precision is number
of digits before and after decimal point for format "g". 

But then the documentation for 2.6 is wrong:

"The precision is a decimal number indicating how many digits should be
displayed after the decimal point for a floating point value."
