Calculator uses 06 in place of decimal

Hi,

Thanks for your bug report.

I am also using that version of gcalctool, but I cannot reproduce your problem. in order to understand more precisely your problem, can you detail a little bit some points :
     -> which mode of gcalctool are you using ?
     -> does this behaviour happen with bith the / typed on the keyboard and on the gcalctool GUI ?

Thanks in advance,

Could this be a locale thing? I have LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, and gcalctool shows the decimal separator as a comma instead of a point.

OTOH, when I switch on "Show Thousands Separator", and compute 89/5 I get: 1,7,8

Furthermore:

3/4 = 0,,75
10000/2 = 5,,000

I am running gcalctool 5.21.92-0ubuntu1
Linux: 2.6.24-11-generic, amd64

To check if it is a locale test, try in an xterm : LANG=C && gcalctool

And see if it is the same behaviour.

Regarding the separator, it is an already existing bug that has been reported upstream.

I have the exact same problem

using gcalctool 5.21.92-0ubuntu1

I'm using:
 Linux version 2.6.24-11-generic (buildd@rothera) (gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu1)) #1 SMP Fri Feb 29 22:08:31 UTC 2008 (Ubuntu 2.6.24-11.17-generic)

my locale is:

LANG=nl_BE.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="nl_BE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="nl_BE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="nl_BE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="nl_BE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="nl_BE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="nl_BE.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="nl_BE.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="nl_BE.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="nl_BE.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="nl_BE.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="nl_BE.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="nl_BE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

here is how to reproduce the problem:

in calculator do the following:
          4,0-4,0*10%= 3,6 <=== this is correct
          4,1-4,1*10%= 3669 <=== this is bogus

from now on every decimal calculation will give bogus results e.g.
          4-0,2= 368
          3/4= 0675

It does not appear by default, as I originally though. However, I have figured out how to replicate it, and it works in any view.

-(5)/4

That will give you -1625, and afterward all answers with decimals will be wrong. With this knowledge it is now obvious that it is not caused by a font's lack of a full stop.
Multiple instances of gcalctool do not interfere with each other, so it is possible to have one calculator that is malfunctioning while another works as expected.

The bug specifically uses a 6 in place of a decimal, so if the number should be 1.25 it will become 1625, and similarly, if the number should be 1.6 it becomes 166.

This bug was fixed in the package gcalctool - 5.22.0-0ubuntu1

gcalctool (5.22.0-0ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * New upstream version
    - fixes the decimal replaced by 6 problem (LP: #198250)

Yes, fixed thanks!

I have Hungarian layouts, and a gcalctool version 5.22.1-0 and i still have problems with the thousand separators:

50000*200= 10,,000.000 instead of 10.000.000
0,565*10 = 5,,65 instead of 5,65
50,865/100 = 0,,50.855 instead of 0,50865
