Bugzilla Bug 95463

Hi all,

I just came about this: Using my upgraded gcalctool I'm no longer able to use
the number conversion in its scientific mode. I think it's a bug.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. start gcalctool
2. enter its scientific mode
3. type a number, say '66'
4. now mark hex instead of dec

The number stays 66 here. In previous versions the correct hex number would pop up.

Actual Results:  
number conversion broken

Expected Results:  
number conversion works

I could reproduce your bug, but if you type in "66*1" press enter, and then
click hex, ( and vice versa ) it works fine.  

I will check the older version later today to confirm that the behavior has changed.

It worked correctly in the older version, so:

backported patch from gnome cvs that fixes the issue, works fine here for me now.

Please try gcalctool-5.5.42-r1, and the issue should be fixed.

for reference, here was the gnome bug:

Thanks!

Thank you!
