Then GnuCash is doing exactly what you told it to. Your automatic decimal point 
setting means that unless you supply a decimal point one is inserted for you: 
100 becomes 1,00 and 1 becomes 0,01.   You've told GnuCash that the stock 
doesn't have fractions, so fractional amounts are rounded using what's 
colloquially called Banker's Rounding, where 0,5 is rounded to the nearest 
*even* integer, so .50 or less is rounded to 0, 1,50 or more to 2. Entering 
23840 is turned into 238,40 and rounded to 238.  Note that GnuCash ignores 
thousands separators so even if you enter 23.840 it will still be turned into 
238,40.
