Hi Michael,
That leaves me speechless.
In French: ‘Pantois’: Someone who is surprised and taken aback by an unexpected situation.
Why display 7 decimal places in a small window (where they appear correctly) yet not show them in full in other MoI3D windows? On my computer screen, it’s a matter of about 2 millimeters in visual terms to see the seventh zero in full.
By nature, I’m a perfectionist – perhaps too much of a perfectionist.

Hi Zooen,

That's only the case for a value of "0", if you also want to show it for other values such as "10" or "100" an additional 2mm is not enough space.
If you like you can test it by editing a line in the UI files - run notepad.exe with "Run as administrator",
Open the file C:\Program Files\MoI 5.0 beta Apr-27-2026\ui\moi.css
Find the rule which sets the default width for an input field , it starts at line 303 and looks like this:
code:
input, moi\:TextInput, moi\:NumericInput, moi\:DistanceInput, moi\:IntegerInput, moi\:UnsignedIntegerInput,
moi\:PointInput, moi\:CoordinateXYZInput, moi\:CoordinateDistanceInput, moi\:CoordinateAngleInput {
border:1px solid $$INPUT_BORDER_COLOR$$;
padding:$$INPUT_PADDING$$;
color:inherit;
background-color:$$INPUT_BACKGROUND_COLOR$$;
display:inline-block;
-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;
-webkit-user-select:text;
-webkit-user-drag:none;
width:5em;
/*allowdblclick:false;*/
cursor:auto;
}
Edit the line in there that has width:5em; to width:7em;
Now the default width for those controls will be larger which does what you want in some places but messes up UI in other places where it needs to fit within a limited width such as the circle command now looks like this:

Thank you, Michael, as I’ve just made the change and I’m perfectly satisfied with it.
