Yes, you should change the tickPrintBlock because it probably incorrectly use (aFloat roundTo: 0.1) printString.
There is no guaranty that this return the nearest Float to the aimed decimal fraction.
Since this is not the nearest Float, you have additional digits displayed.
The print block should use a selector like printShowingDecimalPlaces: (Squeak) or something equivalent in Pharo (can't remember if the selectors are 100% compatible).

For completeness, do test these expressions:
(0 to: 10) collect: [:i | (i/10) asFloat].
versus
(0 to: 10) collect: [:i | i*0.1].
versus
(0 to: 10) collect: [:i | (i/10) roundTo: 0.1].

Only the first one is correct. Trying to roundTo: 0.1 spoils thing because 0.1 is not exactly 1/10 and thus introduce small errors...

Hi (nicolas :))

I was fixing the sound package and the EnvelopeEditorMorph shows a strange glitch

EnvelopeEditorMorph openOn: (FMSound brass1) copy title: 'brass1'

See ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ below

I have the impression that this related to float printString. Any idea how to fix it?
