Rounding issue in Gold Edition?

It seems like GH is now rounding .5 down rather than up. Is this how it always was or is this a recent change?

Thanks

Shouldn't have changed. Rounding where? Int Parameter? Scripts? Expressions?

Int Parameter

It definitely didn't change anytime recently. The conversion used when going from a floating point value to an integer value is:

"If value is halfway between two whole numbers, the even number is returned; that is, 4.5 is converted to 4, and 5.5 is converted to 6."

I've always wondered why anyone would want this sort of rounding to take place, but it is the DotNET standard rounding behaviour.

A different issue is being able to create a selection from multiple drag windows. The initial selection disappears once I drag another window.

Oops. Thanks.
