Thanks for reporting this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better.

This is not a bug, but a rounding error that is very usual in such
calculations, as you can easily see when you use intval() on the
variable $high_display_limit. The easiest way to get around this issue
is to use the function round() to eliminate the rounding error. This
works in this case since you only expect integers. In other cases you
might need to use other methods including using the < comparator instead
of <=. However, this is a common problem with floating-point calculation
that every programmer should be aware of.

Thanks again for your report.
