Yes, indeed. However, very many of my customers do their analyses themselves, many in Studio, and pay according to that. While in Studio these 99% matches would probably be counted as such, in memoQ they caused the work of a 70% match, i.e. there was a bit of unpaid extra work.
I am aware that we are discussing really minimal amounts and a marginal number of segments, but nevertheless... I thought that was memoQ's normal behaviour, and lived with it for years. Initially, I had asked Kilgray about any setting I could adjust to give less weight to the number of digits in figures, and it was quite a shock to learn that it was incorrect behaviour and that it could be fixed.
