Bug 152021 – gcalctool-5.8.24 doesn't accept typed float hexadecimal

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Renan T. Inácio 2006-10-19 19:45:43 UTC]

I can type 0,2 in decimal mode and then go to hexadecimal mode, so that it will display 0,19999999A. If i go back to decimal, it will show 0,2 again.

But if I copy 0,19999999A, clear the calculator (pressing esc), and under hexadecimal mode paste 0,19999999A, it won't change to decimal mode, saying it's not a sane value. If i try to multiply 0,19999999A (under hexadecimal mode) by 2, it will give me a "not well-formed expression" (in portuguese it is "express

That only happens if you input a float number with letters, since with integers that doesn't happen, neither if I only use numbers with fractions.

Is an upstream bug, may be the patch (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=78433&action=view) be applied to current gcalctool version?

Thanks
