Description codedust 2016-01-21 14:03:54 UTC 
Here are the (wrong) solutions gnome-calculator presents to the user:
10^(−0.5) = 5.357543036×10³⁰⁰
10^(−0.2) = 2.582249878×10¹²⁰

I guess, there are some more exponents that result in incorrect soultions but I couldn't find any suspicious correlation.

Thanks a lot for your report, this is already fixed in master and the gnome-3-18 branch.

I'll try to do a 3.18.4 release soon so that the fixes can hit the distributions, but I need to find some time for that.
