Actually, not that much : look at MS Excel when a number with too much
digits is entered in a cell, with non-empty neighbor cells. It rounds the
number to the nearest number fitting in the cell space. When the cell is
edited, it popups a line edit which expands over the next cells to allow a
full digits editing. Much better than a too short line edit, where the user
requires scrolling with the cursor for viewing all digits.

Thanks for all your suggestions, I will try that.
