Sure. I mean it's on us. We're doing the conversion to the nearest aligned value (which is the intended behavior) but then by showing it back to the user nicely, we're replacing that value by something rounded that is not aligned.

Subiquity should internally store the accurate / aligned value - even if it shows a rounded value to the user (in my opinion).
