Can’t increase amount to undelegate (add the number) when 0 < bond < 1

Follow up of #1367 (review)

I tried to replicate this by bonding 0.5 Steak but Voyager wouldn't let me (Confirm Delegation is disabled):

Is this expected behavior?

[faboweb]

Currently it is. Delegation transactions only allow for whole numbers to be delegated.

Delegation transactions only allow for whole numbers to be delegated.

what is the reason?

[faboweb]

what is the reason?

apparently this is due to the fact, that there will be no fractions of atoms. we will only have sub-atoms (1:1000000000) and users will loose fractions of sub-atoms in certain scenarios. we then delegate sub-atoms.

@fedekunze could you quickly help with clarify what the original issue was you filed?

[fedekunze]

It’s more like because the input field only increases the step by 1 using the up button, if you have < 1 atom due to slashing you won’t be able to do anything, only typing the exact amount you want to undelegate.

The ideal situation is that the inputs field increases the step by 1 (step=1) until you reach floor(maximum) and then change the step to decimal in order to be able to unbond your ‘maximum’ specified amount

@faboweb @NodeGuy Do we want to be able to delegate, redelegate and unbond subatoms ?

[faboweb]

yes the user should be able to delegate, redelegate and unbond subatoms. the concern before was that delegating fractional tokens (subatoms) is not possible.
