When use 5 star grading scale, the course total does not calculate correctly. The error is minor of 0.5. Is this a known error?

I assume 5 star rating means (20*5=100%).

Hello,

In the documentation Scales I read:

"If your scale is a custom non-value (not a number), Moodle's behavior in combining or averaging the scores into a percentage value is unpredictable. When an average or aggregate is important, then it is a good idea to stick with the standard 100% scale to compute an overall grade."

Thus, it seems like it is a known issue!
