Description

If ui-number-mask is changed dinamically ex.: <input type="text" ui-number-mask="cntrl.decimals" ng-model="entity.quantity"

Suppose decimals is 0 and quantity is 333. If decimals changes do 2 lets say, then the input shows 3,33 when I think it should show 333,00, meaning, the value should not change, just the mask.

Research direction
Investigate the ui number mask directive implementation, likely in the repository's source files such as 'src/number mask.js'. Focus on the logic that updates the input value when the mask attribute changes. Check if the directive currently reformats the model value or only the display. The expected behavior is that changing the mask should only change the formatting, not the underlying number. Also review the existing comments in the issue for any suggested approaches. There are no linked PRs, so the fix would involve modifying the directive to separate model value from display formatting.
