Description Dimitrios Ntoulas 2011-05-24 09:38:21 UTC 
1. If you try to calculate 0.01^5 the result is 0. This is wrong !

2. Also in settings there is only 9 decimal digit as maximum value, this should be increased.

The answer is coming to zero because the maximum number of digits is set to 9 so 0.01^5 is 9 zeroes and then a 1 which means rounded to 0. Its essentially due to the 9 digit limitation.

Dimitrios,

Thanks for the bug report.
The bug is fixed in the master branch. Now the precision can be extended upto 100 digits after decimal point.

Hope this fixes the issue.
