GetPosition() is not what I expected

[hugarty]

I have a simple execution. I create a CharacterVirtual in position 1, 1, 1 and after that I create a floor.

When gravity is applied the character goes down and touch the ground.

I print GetPosition() of that CharacterVirtual and i get this:

Body ID: 8388608
update - step: 0
Character[0] - Position:1  0.8365  1
update - step: 1
Character[0] - Position:1  0.673  1
update - step: 2
Character[0] - Position:1  0.5095  1
update - step: 3
Character[0] - Position:1  0.346  1
update - step: 4
Character[0] - Position:1  0.1825  1
update - step: 5
Character[0] - Position:1  0.0189999  1
update - step: 6
Character[0] - Position:1  1.86265e-08  1
update - step: 7
Character[0] - Position:1  -2.23517e-08  1
update - step: 8
Character[0] - Position:1  -6.33299e-08  1
update - step: 9
Character[0] - Position:1  -6.33299e-08  1
update - step: 10
Character[0] - Position:1  -6.33299e-08  1

In step 5 the character is about to collide with floor.
In step 6 it touch the floor.

And after that it stays there, static.

Why the Y in step 6 goes to 1.86265e-08 and not to 0.00~ ?
Why the Y goes away further and stops in -6.33299e-08?
There is a way to get what I expect that is 0.000~ for Y ?

1.86265e-08 (or 0.0000000186) is very close to zero. This is about as accurate as things can be when using floating point math.
