Rounding problem in computing allowed demesne from stewardship

The amount of demesne that is supposed to be exempt from the efficiency penalty AFAIK is computed as

(Stewardship Rating)*(Title Modifier)/2

where (Stewardship Rating) is the base savegame stewardship plus any characters traits and education boni, but does not include his appointed Steward's rating.

The problem is that this rating (in the savefile) is decimal and seems to be rounded down in the demesne calculation while it is rounded to the nearest integer for display on-screen.

For example:

Duke A has a savefile stewardship of 4,3 plus proven accountant (+2 bonus).
His stewardship is shown on screen as 6 and his free demesne as (4+2)*1/2=3 which is correct

But:

Duke B has a savefile stewardship of 3,8 plus proven accountant (+2 bonus).
His stewardship is shown on screen as 6 and his free demesne as (3+2)*1/2=2.5 rounded to 2

So we have two rulers with the same on-screen stewardship yielding different amount of allowable demesne.

Kind of minor but I think still a bug.

can others confirm this?

I've seen rounding oddities, yeah. Tooltip said I could control 11 demesne without penalty, I had 12 without any problems. Interestingly, in the income modifiers list in the provinces, I saw an entry for "Demesne penalty: 0%".

I wouldn't say the rounding part is a bugged, but having decimals as stats in savefile puzzles me. Why would that happen?

Ok, I've done some more checking and it seems that the actual calculations of the penalties are done in decimal so that is all right, but the reporting in the tooltips is rounded so that it is kind of confusing.
The end result is that for the game's purposes you do not have a stewardship (etc) of , say, 8 but of 7.876 or 8.345 etc.

Perhaps then it WAD, but still the feedback is confusing.
