Description Mikołaj Zalewski 2007-10-18 06:00:07 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When I try to convert 3e5 from hex to decimal on the Gnome calculator the result is... 300000. Maybe it confuses the exponential notation with hexadecimals.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start calculator
2. Change to hex
3. Enter 3e5
4. Change to dec

Actual results:
The result is 300000

Expected results:
The correct result is 997

Does this happen every time?
Yes

I suspect this is a duplicate of bug #308408.
What does "gcalctool -version" print out?
Comment 2 Mikołaj Zalewski 2007-10-19 04:53:51 UTC 
I have gcalctool version 5.9.14. BTW on my gcalctool I couldn't recreate bug #308408
Comment 3 Rich Burridge 2007-10-19 13:48:47 UTC 
I must have been tired when I previously replied.

In gcalctool for v5.9.14 and all the way up to and
including the one in GNOME 2.20, hex numbers had to
be input in upper case. 3e5 is inputting an exponential
number (30000). hex 3E5 is decimal 997.

For the next version of gcalctool, it's been reverted to
the way it was before 2003. See bug #469245 for all the
gory details.
