Research direction

Start by locating the ttk.TreeView implementation in the Tkinter component and inspect how item values are converted to integers. Compare the behavior with the issue's reported over-conversion and determine whether other functions are affected. Done means the intended values are preserved and the behavior is covered by appropriate tests.
