The idea here is to expose the more common and bug-free scale factors in the main UI, while letting experts and risk-takers set whatever they want. Maybe I should add a warning in the dialog that people who set a weird value there are on their own?
  
  
  That is fine, but please use some step width that is a proper float.
  Just use 1/16, that is 0,0625.
  0.05 will just lead to the same issues as 0.1, it looks nice in the input field but is no floating pointer number you can calculate sanely with.
