unwanted decimals in duration field for tasks

I am working on a project and have set the calendar to 4 10hr days.  (7am-12:30pm, 1pm-5:30pm) also made sure to select 10 hour days, in the fields below when editing a calendar.

this has caused some irregular problems in summary tasks even with just simple sub-task duration.  this only seems to crop up if the sub-tasks start or end date are changed after the initial calculation.  extending the duration of the sub-tasks will just change the summary task duration by the same amount.

example: (expected and initial output)

summary 1  duration: 4 days   start: 11/1/14   end: 11/3/14

task 1:  duration 1 day  start: 11/1/14  end 11/1/14

task 2:  duration 2 days  start: 11/1/14  end 11/2/14

task 3: duration 4 days  start: 11/2/14  end 11/5/14

example (weird summary duration after start date manual change)

summary 1  duration: 5.9 days   start: 11/1/14   end: 11/3/14

task 1:  duration 1 day  start: 11/1/14  end 11/1/14

task 2:  duration 2 days  start: 11/1/14  end 11/2/14

task 3: duration 4 days  start: 11/3/14  end 11/6/14

where does the decimal come from if all the tasks are set up to use 10 hour full days?  it is oddly specific for only having general inputs.

looked into the gantt chart and zoomed in far enough to see the hours for each task. it seems like when the date was changed, the start time for that task was set to 5am (2 hours before it was supposed to) and it seems to do this (but not always to the same time, but always before working hours) whenever a task has it's start date moved.
