Description Stanislav Horacek 2014-09-28 21:30:23 UTC 
Modulo operator in Basic cannot deal with decimal numbers. Whereas the help text states:
Print 10 Mod 2.5 ' returns 0

actual result of 10 Mod 2.5 is 1 (2.5 is apparently rounded up to 3).
(Contrary to this, MOD function in Calc returns 0 in this example.)

I'm not sure what behaviour should be considered as reference. In any case, either Mod operator or its description in help should be corrected.

Tested on 4.2.6 and 3.5.4, probably inherited from OOo.
