What steps does it take to reproduce the issue?
Create a Dataset with a Geographic Bounding Box field.
Enter coordinates with more than 5 decimal places - for example, set South greather than North or West greather than East using 6 decimal places.
- When does this issue occur?
Geographic Bounding Box validation.
- Which page(s) does it occurs on?
Create/Edit Dataset
When a user creates a Geographic Bounding Box field and enters values with more than 5 decimal places, the validation is not correct. Dataverse saves the Dataset, but Solr cannot index the item and throws an exception.
- To whom does it occur (all users, curators, superusers)?
All users
- What did you expect to happen?
Dataverse thows error message: "Geographic Bounding Box has invalid coordinates. East must be greater than West and North must be greater than South. Missing values are NOT allowed."
Which version of Dataverse are you using?
First observed in version 6.4, and it still occurs in 6.6.

Help is always welcome, is this bug something you or your organization plan to fix?
Yes.
The method verifyBoundingBoxCoordinatesWithinRange should compare BigDecimal values instead of Float for greater precision. This does not affect performance if used only to validate coordinates.
