Livepaint groups mis-aligned when zoomed in full
When zooming in (starts becoming noticeable around 4800%) the fills in a livepaint group do not align with the vectors they are made from. I've experienced this on multiple systems, both PC and Mac.

Ruy, actually, this is intended. Live Paint and Shape Builder both make tiniest simplifications to the art, for the sake of the speed. If you watch the original paper about Live Paint — https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/1275808.1276415 — you’ll hear Paul voicing this out.
More of it, you can make a simple test to see Live Paint breaking the precision. Create a new document and choose millimeters as units (this is important). Create a simple rectangle that has integer dimensions and is placed perfectly on integer coordinates. Convert it to Live Paint object. Expand it. Check coordinates and dimensions.
This bug is less prominent for pixels and inches -based documents, because LivePaint rounds values to fractions of a point.But I vote because this drives me crazy. I believe that the algorithm can keep values and not ditch my data. Thank you for reporting it.
