One Float shows as Int, while others show and update correctly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

See http://hotblocks.nl/tests/three/dat.gui.html

As you can see by the animation, the Camera's rotation and position are 
changed. Of the 6 variables seen in the dat GUI, only the Camera's height isn't 
changed every 1/60 second.

The rotation is in rad, so is very precise and obviously a float. Two of those 
floats work as expected: as floats. If you click the document, the animation 
will stop. You can then change the rotation variables. Two of those can be 
changed to floats.

For some reason, the first will never be a float. Not if it's fetched from the 
live animation. Not when you set it manually. Not ever.

Internally, it's definitely a float though.

What's going on? I've defined the 6 variables indentically: range [-5, 5] step 
0.1

I'm getting a 404 on this page

It existed a month ago. And now it does again.

I also found the same problem, however, I believe the issue is simply that the 
initial value is negative.

Doing simple tests with an object with 2 number properties and setting one to 
1.5 and the other to -1.5 shows the dat.GUI of the 2nd negative property as in 
integer, while the first positive number as a float with 1 decimal place.

Here is a demonstration:

I'm getting this with all non-positive values, which is quite frustrating when 
using it to position objects starting at an origin.

Yeah, this still exists. Or at least in the version I downloaded a few days 
ago. Weird.

This is a quick fix that I am currently using

* 1/10 is not good enough IMO and
* could you roll that into a GIT patch?

The strange thing to me (but I must admit, I've been drinking one or two this 
evening) is that for 2 of 3 variables ir works perfectly and for 1 it doesn't. 
Same context applies: http://hotblocks.nl/tests/three/dat.gui.html Camera . 
Rotation . x & y work perfectly like floats and z doesn't.

I must admint I haveb;t chcked the actuyal code, but it seems odd to me. Does 
your fix actually fix that?

Has anyone looked into this? I'm seeing this issue too.

It really appears that dat.gui development is dead. Is this the case?

This looks related to https://code.google.com/p/dat-gui/issues/detail?id=31. 
You should be able to set the precision with step(). I just tried the fix 
suggested on that link and it works for me. Will see if I can get a patch 
together.

In patch form against the dat.gui repo, the fix from issue #31 is below. If you 
just want to fix your local build, apply the two-line addition to 
build/dat.gui.js as appropriate.

Now accepted and applied to codebase. Won't appear in the main js file until 
they build.

This is taking a while to resolve...

I am using the latest build 
https://github.com/dataarts/dat.gui/releases/tag/v0.5.1, that has the suggested 
bug fix 
https://github.com/dataarts/dat.gui/commit/1cb6eca274eae229915f386b7798ea19cf2a0
217 , still I am facing the same issue.

I am having 5 float value sliders and always the second one shows abnormal 
behaviour. Unfortunately, I cannot provide a link to the page since I am 
developing on localhost.

Has anyone been able to solve it?
