Project; Bugs, Problems, and Issues - Layout / Round Bars to Whole Days

Can anyone help me figure out what would cause this?

 

Bar Configuration before turning OFF round to whole days

 

and after turning off round to whole days

 

 

I changed nothing other than unchecking the radio box for rounding in the layout menu.

    Maybe use "Baseline Estimated Finish" instead of "Baseline Finish". It worked for me.

    Chuck_Pollard,
    Get out your can of Raid, you found a bug!

    I did a little testing but didn't find a plausible explanation. I believe the issue is related to the Milestone designation. In Project milestones are zero duration and as such can create unusual results in non-standard scenarios such as what you are presenting. You can report it via the Project feedback channel and see what happens.

      Awesome, at least I know I'm not crazy now! I spent an hour or two trying to figure out what I may have been doing wrong to cause it, before I decided to put the question out to the community at large. I just left it alone and reported it as it was shown.

        Chuck_Pollard,
        Wait a minute, let's not make any gross assumptions. You are definitely crazy. It's a requirement for using Project. . . . 🙂

        Personally I've had very little use for the Gantt display option of rounding to whole days. In my mind it's just not a option that is relevant in the larger scheme of a working plan.
