The way these numbers are stored in computer memory is such that integers aren't really a thing. You can get really close to an integer, but not exact. And as you're taking it from an orientation angle, it's actually converting from radians to degrees under the hood, which is more likely to give you a less precise value.

Instead of integers, you tend to get things like -90.000000034832764 or -89.9999998873783. Sliders don't show an infinite number of decimal places, so they tend to show just a couple rounded. But the number you're plugging in probably isn't exactly -90.

Then you're dividing, which likely changes it further, and could(?) make precision worse. Something like -9.00000726673 or -8.9999982782. But again, you're not really dealing with -9 exactly.

Then you're rounding up. If the real number is -9.00000726673 and you round that up (closer to 0) you'll get -9. But if the real number is -8.9999982782 and you round up you'll get -8. So that seems to be what's happening in this case.

This post is specifically for the update. This may be a random bug that was likely there before, and unrelated to any of the new features. My feeling is it's working as intended, even if it can seem unintuitive. But if you'd still like to report it you can use indreams.me/support in the normal way.
