Strange behaviour special fields after Joomla update to 2.5.16

[Margriet]

Not sure if it is a Joomla issue or a VM issue but decided to start here.
Both sites have VM version 2.0.24
One site is still on Joomla 2.5.14 (images 2-5-14be and 2-5-14fe), the other on 2.5.16. (images 2-5-16be and 2-5-16fe)
Almost identical configuration.
2.5.16 site rounds price from special field to 1 euro!
On dutch forum already more people with this issue. Please advise.

Just curious - are both websites running on the same php version?

[Margriet]

Yes. both on localhost.

Hello Margriet,

Thanks for reacting in this other thread (http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=120120.0), pointing me to this one.

I've taken a look at the php-version used on the website I'm working on. It's php 5.3.3.
Let's hope there'll be a solution to this soon.

Somebody else reported that updating php 5.3.3 to the latest php 5.3 version (I think the latest is 5.3.27) solved the problem.

Hello jjk,

This morning, I replied at this thread: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=120120.0
It could be a solution, at least temporarily, but I'm not sure it's safe enough, since the file 'libraries/joomla/methods.php' is part of a security-update. So I'm hoping for a good answer to this...

@jjk
It's definitely not a PHP issue.
I had PHP 5.3.3  on localhost, but decided to update to PHP 5.4.19 because of some troubles with Yootheme templates and Joomla 3.2 installer (don't worry, not in combination with VM). But unfortunately result in VM is still the same as in my earlier screenshots.

Seems to be related to a changed file in Joomla 2.5.16 as 'Lockerbie' reported in the other forum thread. VM developers will have a look at this soon.
