New description:

 1. Use the Field calculator to write e.g. 9/17 to an INTEGER field
  1. In the attribute table you see the real value: 0.529411764705882
  1. Press the Save button
  1. The value is updated with the proper one from layer: 1

 This behaviour is confusing for many users, and also makes the table less
 readable before saving.
