eulerAngles/Quaternion precision issue? (not gimbal-lock)

Try this:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. if(Input.GetButtonDown("Right")){
3.       transform.rotation*=Quaternion.AngleAxis(22.5f, Vector3.up);
4.       float angle = transform.rotation.eulerAngles.y;
5.       Debug.Log("Angle: "+angle);
6. }
7.  

So i thought doing a clean Quaternion would give a clean eulerAngles to read from for a 360 value, however, i noticed anything from 0 to 90 range gives an ever increasing precision issue. (Example: 0 value should be 0? but it is 1.807988E-05 which is ridicelous. Its off by a whole 1.8!)

This breaks my code.

I dont think its right to have a precision fault in something like this.Is this a bug?

I also found another post adressing this:

No... It's off by 0.0000018, which falls into the float imprecision range. It's not breaking your code, and if it is, your code is wrong.

 

1.8

Ah. How misleading. Thanks!

I need a picture of what you are?
