I noticed another bug where I enter 1.11 and afterwards add more 1s to the beginning until it will parse to 1111.1
The solution of @shibamo solves it for small numbers, but it will appear again for large numbers.

Thanks for the snippets though :)

In the interest of shameless self-promotion, I deal with some of those bugs at https://github.com/adamcarheden/html-form-tools. vue-compatible version coming soon (maybe).

is perfect and practical code, start it ~
i think adding annotation is a great idea! thanks ~
