Zone decimal places accuracy changed in ArchiCAD 13

Hi guys,
You might want to know about what I found today:
The decimal places/accuracy of areas displayed in Zone Stamps has changed in ArchiCAD 13.
It used to be the Area Unit Decimals in the Calculation Units page of the Project Preference Dialog that controlled how many decimals Zone Stamps displayed.
This is no longer the case, now the Decimals set for Fills in the Dimensions page of the Project Preferences Dialog is the place to set this.
See attached image.

Edit: I just found out this is not completely true. See my next post below.

Actually, I have to correct myself.
I don't know if this is true in other language versions, but in the HUN version I found there are Zones which are controlled by one and other Zones that are controlled by the other. And this was true in AC12 too.
So actually it depends on how the GDL of the Zone Stamp is programmed.

Yes, there is no difference in the INT version.
The reason I wrote the original post is because I looked in the Hungarian version and in that there are differences between AC12 and AC13.
