Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gcalctool
(1) Enable "Show thousands separators" (2) Select "Programming" mode (3) Select "Decimal" (4) Enter 1024 (5) Change the base to "Hexadecimal" (6) Incorrect result ... we get 1024 interspersed with subscript "10"s If you now disable "Show thousands separators" and repeat, we get the correct value displayed. I think the commas must be confusing the string parser. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 10.10 Release: 10.10 $ apt-cache policy gcalctool gcalctool: Installed: 5.32.0-0ubuntu4 Candidate: 5.32.0-0ubuntu4 Version table: *** 5.32.0-0ubuntu4 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 5.32.0-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386 Packages 500 http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386 Packages ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 Package: gcalctool 5.32.0-0ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-25.44-generic 2.6.35.10 Uname: Linux 2.6.35-25-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Architecture: i386 CheckboxSubmission: a8a616df9dc786aebb6e90396a4327e4 CheckboxSystem: da9af3b901b5569a389df6337f3d812f Date: Fri Feb 11 23:03:11 2011 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/gcalctool ProcEnviron: SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_GB.utf8 SourcePackage: gcalctool ** Affects: gcalctool (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 maverick -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/717470 Title: gcalctool can't handle commas when converting between bases -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
