Hi Pádraig,
The problem seems to be related to the computation of ret.width for arguments
with exponent in method scan_arg. Apparently, the ret.precision is handled in
the presence of an exponent while the ret.width is not.
More evidence:
$ seq -w 1e3 1e5 | head -2
1000
1001
$ seq -w 1e3 1e5 | tail -2
99999
100000
$ seq -w -1e-1 1
-00.1
000.9
$ seq -w -0.1 1
-0.1
00.9
Thanks!
Best regards,
Marcel

Confirmed:
$ ~/git/coreutils/src/seq -w -1e-3 1
-0.001
0.999
$ ~/git/coreutils/src/seq -w -.001 1
-0.001
00.999
I'll have a look.
thanks,
Pádraig.
