Description Chris Hollenbeck 2005-05-29 20:55:00 UTC 
Distribution/Version: Ubuntu

1. Open gcalctool
2. click the e^x button.
3. Enter a 2
4. Click the = button.

Gcalctool (version 5.5.41), gives the answer 196, not 7.3890561 (answer
according to google). I imagine e is being interpreted as 0xE, or 14, and so the
answer is 14^2 = 196.

Reassigning to Sami as this appears to just be a problem in arithmetic
operator precdence mode. It appears to be already fixed in the gcalctool
5.6.X series (for GNOME 2.11/12), and if I remember correctly there is
already a bug report for this problem. Sami, can you find it and close this
out as a duplicate of that bug please?
