i tested derek's accusation, and it's true- jit.cellblock won't display most negative float numbers. what's up with that?

If you increase the default cell width, the numbers show up. So, for 

example, if I change the default cell width to 65, all of the numbers 

show up. This is a problem with displaying cell contents that cannot 

be "broken" properly. Another option, if you prefer, is to reduce 

the default float precision of the cellblock - I'm not sure how much 

precision you need, but that is an alternative that will allow you to

This seems to be insider knowledge, I couldn't find anything in the help 

file, the inspector or the manual how to change the default float 

precision for cellblock (it might be well hidden)...

I think best would be if the display of floats in cellblock 

automatically would follow exactly the same rules as the display in 

float number boxes. Either cut them or do a float display correction...

I would call the momentary behaviour a design bug, and the proposed 

changing of the width is an unusable workaround, not a solution...

(There is a reason why one would not want to make the width bigger than 

the design of the patch would allow... ;-)

it's in the hel of jitt.cellblock under STRUCTURE subpatch

you can also set them in the get ifo of the jitt.block object
