As a matter of fact, I can... on Turbo Delphi 2006 (free edition)...

and the behavior is as you said it should be.

(i.e. FormatFloat eats the minus if the content of the edit is smaller than expected by the format string)

With FormatFloat format string '0.###' :

Input: -0.001     Output: -0.001
Input: -0.0001    Output: 0.000  

So it _is_ not the same as Lazarus/FPC has;

Guess it's time to call to the bugtracker then...
