According to the help page:
interface(displayprecision=n)
sets the number of decimal places to be displayed to n.
But this is true only if interface(typesetting=extended).
For interface(typesetting=standard),  n represents the number of decimal places after the decimal point.
Is there any reason for this decision?

restart;
x:=123.456789012345:
interface(displayprecision=4):
interface(typesetting=standard): x;
                        123.4568
interface(typesetting=extended): x;
                        123.5
