The problem, as is evidenced by how often the question is repeated, is that while most modders understand what's going on, a great many other users of the exp bar mods *don't* understand it, and have no idea why the display is so flaky.

For what it's worth, in my own exp bar, I came up with what I think is a reasonable compromise. I have the secondary number displayed, but separately (and in a smaller font) rather than integrated with the primary number. That way, the main exp display is always accurate, but I can also see exactly how many tenths of a percent exp I gained from a particular fight or quest. At the very least, it works for me, and produces no confusion.

I don't think theres anyway to alter the data conditionally to show the right data.
Unfortunately, there isn't. I played with every option I could think of shortly after the change was made, as did many others, and nothing worked.

And I too wish they would give us both bits of data (or rather, just make 1 bit of data thats rounded whole %, and one bit thats the entire unrounded bit as a float with a % sign).
That would be PERFECT.
