I agree, but I'm really curious to know HOW it's happening. Aren't votes integers? Hard to imagine an int update race the results in a float conversion :)

They most likely are.

But before displaying them calculations happen °:

from node_rep_line

  14:   my $up   = ($N->{reputation} + $N->{votescast}) / 2;
  15:   my $down = $up - $N->{reputation};

Looks like reputation was -4 and votescast 3 at the moment of my observation.

Hence one votecast got lost ...

update

I seem to remember reading about a "multiple vote feature" (for janitors?) announced some month ago.

°) @PmDevs I somehow "reverse engineered" this bug, because I was expecting a division by two. Search internal code for all code snippets with "vote" and narrowing the result to / 2 led me to this part.

Thanks, that explains it nicely!

It's interesting that it's not a transient issue: the votes are still fractional, so an update to votescast was likely permanently lost rather than you just seeing "torn values".
