Summary

0003298: random(1.8) is always between 0 and 1

Description

It seems that if the upper limit for random is a fraction greater than 1, the non-integer part is ignored. I.e.
random(1.8) returns a random number between 0 and 1
random(2.8) returns a random number between 0 and 2
etc.
However random(0.8) seems to work correctly.

Steps To Reproduce

repeat 100 {
show_debug_message(string(random(1.8)))
}
