Bug#410763: gcalctool: Malformed expression error when trying to use Mod

[tony mancill]

Package: gcalctool
Version: 5.8.25-1
Severity: normal

This isn't a big deal as there is a work-around, but it's annoying, and 
it's easily reproducible.

Conduct an operation and get the result, e.g.:  
	2 + 2 =
Press "Mod"
Enter the modulo argument.
Press =

You'll get "Malformed expression."

However, if you backspace over the last number in the result from the
intial operation (it makes more sense if you're working with larger
numbers, say squaring 89), and then press "Mod" and enter the modulo
argument and press =, the result is calculated.

So perhaps internally there is some trailing garbage after a calculation
that prevents Mod from working directly on the intermediate result?

Thanks,
tony
