Description Rich Burridge 2006-10-30 15:58:51 UTC 
The way of entering scientific numbers with a negative exponent is
different in arithmetic operator precedence mode that the way it's 
done in non-arithmetic operator precedence mode ("classic" mode).

In non-arithmetic operator precedence mode, you would enter something like:

   12 Exp 8 +/- to get 0.00000012

This is how it's currently documented.

In arithmetic operator precedence mode, you would enter:

   12 Exp - 8

Notice the use of the minus sign instead of the change sign, and
the change of entry order.

(Originally filed as bug #309182).

Changes checked into CVS HEAD. Closing as FIXED. I will be
generating a new gcalctool tarball for the GNOME 2.17.3 release
in about a weeks time.
