Only fails in "Use Arithmetic Operator Precedence" mode, so
assigning to Sami for further evaluation.

Patch from Sami to fix the problem.

One thing to note (for both arithmetic and non-arithmetic modes).
When you've typed "88", clicked on Dec and then clicked back to
Hex mode, and you then type in "FF", the "88" is removed first.
In other words, to get the the decimal equivalent of "88FF", you
would need to type in the whole number in one go.
