bug#12959: "seq -w -1e-3 9" misaligned

[Marcel Böhme]

Hi,

While the output of (1) "seq -w -1e-2 9" prints the width as expected, the 
output of (2) "seq -w -1e-3 9" does not:
 (1) vs. (2)
-0.01 | -0.001
00.99 | 0.999
01.99 | 1.999
02.99 | 2.999
03.99 | 3.999
04.99 | 4.999
05.99 | 5.999
06.99 | 6.999
07.99 | 7.999
08.99 | 8.999

Similarly, see "seq -w -1e2 -98" vs. "seq -w -1e3 -998".

Can you kindly confirm that the bug was introduced 4 years ago in the following 
commit:

Best regards,
