ok so if i set my index money to be at 9,999,999, now i have a actor when press it changes this money -1, so my last digits should be changing like 9,8,7,6,5 and so on, at this points everything works fine but whet i type to change my money to 99,999,999 it becomes 1e+10 which is not the same, but the annoying problem is that, now when i click on my actor to change money-1, is no longer moving, but if i click on the one that changes money-1000 it does works expect that my first digit that represents a value from 0-9 becomes sometimes white. , i know i can fix this easy by not allowing such high numbers, but i would like to know why is this happening.

    here is a youtube video , also first thing is why if i type 9,999,999 it becomes 10,000,000 but if i typed 999 it does stays like that.

    This is just how GS works. And most calculators. If any number gets big enough, it'll shorten it to look like that.

    I think you can get around it using a custom font:

    my black numbers are already using custom fonts, and the only one i having problems is the first digit from right, as you can see its like a white square sometimes, and it won't change image if my attribute is greater like 20,000000. , but i think the main problem is that in the index global attributes won't allow me higher numbers, only if i use a change attribute then i can if i typed on the formula.
