Inconsistent use of programs' size indicator #9

I've noticed that GU uses "MB" for integer program sizes, and "M" for fractional numbers (4.85 etc).
Not sure if that's applicable also for KB and GB.

Is that intended?
I think the correct behaviour would be KB, MB and GB for all program sizes, but you may have a special reason I didn't think of.

I suppose the column width is not enough to display MB completely. Try to resize it.

Already done, not helping :(

Pleny of space left here.

The same goes to G (as opposed to GB).
There are no apps with "round" size in gigabytes on this PC, so can't check if my claim in my first post here is correct.

I use a system function (StrFormatByteSizeW) for that, there's nothing can be fixed I'm afraid.
Suppose it depends on a locale (Hebrew in your case)

So the issue applies also to KB.

As you can see from the screenshot above (English UI), the issue is probably originating elsewhere :(

Could you leave this issue open, in case you'd stumbleupon a solution for this?

Progress report: I've changed every possible setting on Windows to match the locale to English US (without changing Windows UI to english) and it still look the same.
Though, on a different PC (Windows 8.1, UI language is english) this works okay, but the size indicator is aligned to the left (so it looks like "MB 4.55" instead of "4.55 MB").

Still an issue. Feel free to close if you think if this is not actionable.
