correctly

Package: gcalctool
Version: 5.8.24-1+b1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
According to the manual, entering something like 12 Exp 8 +/- should
produce that number: 0.00000012.
Now, if I try that same example, by keying in that stuff: 12 Exp 8
+/-, the display will read this: -(12e8).
If I want to make sure that the result is expected I continue keying
in: *1, so that the display reads this: -(12e8)x1 (multiply by one);
and when I ask the result to be displayed (keying in '=') I get
-1.2e+9 ---which is NOT the expected result.
The example, 12 Exp 8 +/- +/-, which should give -1.2e-7, that is
-0.00000012 does not work either.
That is a SIGNIFICANT problem.
Sincerely,
Filippo Rusconi
