Approximate value to exact is too aggressive

Approximate value to exact is too aggressive

In the current online version of calculator suite in Sweden, confirmed by several users on Windows 11.

lg(0.8) is calculated to -0.0969... and stored in a.
On the next input, 0.5a produces -1/20 as exact value. Correct is -0.0484...

This is not expected behaviour. I would only want an exact value to kick in if at least ~6 decimal places match.

It seems to be a new problem.
