This bug is rather severe in my opinion and I can confirm this behavior. In addition, this could be fixed rather easily if one would introduce an extra button/function to take the n-th root of a number and if the argument should be negative it just checks whether the root is odd or not.
That button was missing anyway since it exists on any scientific calculator. For these two reasons I am reopening the bug. ** Changed in: gcalctool (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- Cannot do odd roots of negative numbers. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288446 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
