Investment Shares Don't Calculate properly

Hi, I've only been using KMyMoney (v5.08) on Ubuntu 20.04 (previously from 16.04) for a short while. This is the version available in the repository.
I've setup some funds with price precision of 4 and have tried to start using KM to track my 401k. I'm Entering transactions manually.
However, my 401k funds have SHARE values with 4 decimal places and prices with 2 decimal places.

I have a particular purchase of 48.3984 shares at $18.02 for a total of 872.14 in my 401 account.
When I try to enter it in KM it rounds the shares to 48.4 and gives me a total of 872.17.

I've searched the forum for similar questions, but have not found this specific issue except that apparently there is a calculation issue fixed in 5.10 (but I couldn't find any details - that I could understand).
Is there a place (I've looked but can't find) to alter the share precision?
Or is this problem possibly solved by upgrading to 5.10?
Or do I just fidget with the price decimal places to make the total come out right?
Thanks.

Open your list of Investments in the View Selector area. There you can set the properties of the asset by modifying the Investment options. You can set the granularity/fractions of the counting and the price accuracy.

I am using 1/100000 for all my securities and 5 digits for the price.
