Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gcalctool
The calculator doesn't seem to have a handle on significant figures, it
displays a far greater level of precision in the result than warranted
from the input values.
For every value entered by the user, determine the total number of sig
figs. Remember the highest sig fig level encountered and use that to
format the precision of the result.
i.e. 1 - 2 = -1
2.3 - 1 = 1.3 (not "1.300000000")
9.999 - 2 = 7.999 (not "7.999000000");
** Affects: gcalctool (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New

Too many sig figs (1-2 = -1.000000000) !!
