Metadata editor displays the value of the 'Focal length' field incorrectly

Help & Support
1

I have set the value of the 'Focal length' field to 12.5. The Metadata Editor shows this as '12.1150':

Other numbers are similarly affected: entering a value of '35' results in the editor displaying '35.3400':

I've checked the file in a couple of other EXIF viewers, both of which confirm that the expected value of 12.5 has been stored, so this appears to be just a display issue in the editor.

The hoverover on the file shows it correctly:

I've also noticed that the 'Focal length (35mm)' field won't accept the decimal separator, limiting it to integers - is this intentional?

Confirmed, the metadata panel is displaying it incorrectly.

If you turn on the similar file display column or look at the file in another editor, the correct value looks like it is being written to the tag, but it is not being read back correctly in the metadata panel.

We'll investigate in more detail.
