There was a problem while pasting from clipboard. The pasted data must be filtered at least to avoid incorrect input.

Bug Description
Binary package hint: gcalctool
The input from the keyboard is filtered to avoid wrong syntax or number format.
But, we can paste anything there from the clipboard. So, I've got "11101 1101" in my
clipboard. I would like to convert the value from binary to decimal. And I've got a wrong
number format error. Then, I tried to paste some text there and it was successful.
I think some filtering must occur on the pasted data to avoid these problems.

Marking as invalid. Can only paste one value at a time in gcalctool. 11101 yields 29, 1101 yields 13. "11101 1101" yields "No sane value to convert." Am I missing something? Filtering does need to occur on pasted data. The user needs to filter the data such that only one sane value gets pasted at a time in gcalctool. Spaces are treated as delimiters so that "11101 1101" is really two values. Should automatic concatenation of spaces be used in gcalctool? Not sure.
