Glitch using operators and 1.68
I just discovered that if you try to add, subtract, multiply, or divide by 1.68 that when you click out of the box it turns to: 1.6800000000002. (or some number of zeroes close to that) has this happened to you?

can you at least test this and prove this isn't only happening to me?

I did test it right before I posted that 
Apparently it IS just you

have you changed the coding of scratch to allow for mesh? maybe this affected our results. please let me know!

I have not changed the coding at all. My Scratch is 100% original - no modifications involved. Sorry, but I can't help you here.

thanks for the help! now i believe it may be a side affect of turning on mesh.

yeah, 1.89 turns to 1.8900000000001 (or some number of zeroes close to that amount) for me too.
just to see if my mesh theory is right, have you enabled mesh on your scratch yet or not?

Re: Glitch using operators and 1.68
I've heard about things like this. There was an old thread for them a while ago. I bet the Scratch team will fix them in 2.0
I've taken a long hiatus, but I still visit sometimes. Give me some time to answer any messages you post on my projects!

Re: Glitch using operators and 1.68
Oh, this problem... 
How did you find it? 
I only found it by reading troubleshooting threads...
....................................
A way around it would be to use a variable with a value of 1.68 or 1.89...

I just tested that, and there's a glitch in the variable, too... the updating string moves to the right I suppose it's only aesthetic, but if it's in a project that requires the variables to show, that could be a problem...
