Rounding and Saving Errors

Issue 1 : Rounding errors and random decimals?

I have 2 float fields in a database that get imported automatically as "doubles". Example of the issue:

Field A = 1163.600006 : If I leave this as a double, it shows on the report as 1163.5938363 etc etc tons of decimals. If I change it to a float, it'll show as 1163.6, which is acceptable.

Field B = 1.050000 : If I leave this as a double, it shows on the report as 1.049999 etc etc. If I change it to a float, it'll show as 1.05, which is acceptable.

Field C is simply PRODUCT(A,B). I can't seem to get this field to round at all. It always shows up as 1221.77999 etc etc. Even if I tell it to float_value(). Can't get it to round right. Any ideas?

Issue 2 : Saving error

This one is truly frustrating. I'm attempting to add a parameter in my WHERE clause of my SQL statement. When I add it and save the report, the Jaspersoft Studio client kind of "refreshes", and when I go back into the query, the change I made is GONE. It was also happening with a separate report, where I would make 4 variables, save the report, and then the client would "refresh" and all 4 variables I created would vanish entirely. I don't understand this issue at all, any thoughts?

Sorry for taking so long to explain the issues, any and all answers are appreciated. Thanks!

Forgot to mention, the only way I've found to resolve the saving error I'm getting is to recreate the report entirely.

I have a pretty thorough report right now that I really really don't want to have to remake. Thanks again.

I've also experienced the saving error on Jaspersoft Studio 5.5 Pro. Jaspersoft Studio, however, is only generating/eding *.jrxml files so I'm just backing up xml document in the source tab to a text editor periodically.

Error, also, doesn't seem to happen all the time and I probably need to find steps to always reproduce it.
