I'm using List.setMeasurements to get measurement values as follows:

  measurements="area mean standard modal min centroid center integrated median skewness kurtosis";
  run("Set Measurements...", measurements+" redirect=None decimal=6");
  List.setMeasurements;

Note that I specify "decimal=6". Nevertheless, several of the values are printed with up to 19 decimal places:

printthis = List.getValue("Area")+" "+List.getValue("Mean")+" "+List.getValue("StdDev");
printthis += " "+List.getValue("Mode")+" "+List.getValue("Median")+" "+List.getValue("Min")+" "+List.getValue("Max");
printthis += " "+List.getValue("X")+" "+List.getValue("Y")+" "+List.getValue("XM")+" "+List.getValue("YM");
printthis += " "+List.getValue("IntDen")+" "+List.getValue("Skew")+" "+List.getValue("Kurt");
print(printthis);

Is this a bug?

Thanks,
Neil
