            Bug ID: 159684
           Summary: EDITING: Erroneous interpretation of math formula in
                    LibreOffice Calc, eg. -1^2 evaluates to "1" instead of
                    "-1"
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.6.4.1 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: wzar...@ch.pw.edu.pl

Description:
Enter a string
                                   =-1^2
into any LibreOffice Calc cell. Then the formula is evaluated to "1",
however, the correct value should be -1.
In my opinion, -1^2 should be evaluated to -(1^2), but not to (-1)^2

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter a formula "=-1^2" in any LibreOffice Calc cell.
2. Press Enter.
3. Formula evaluates to "1" (i.e. it is understood as "(-1)^2").
4. The result should be -(1^2)=-1, not 1. 

Actual Results:
1

Expected Results:
-1


Reproducible: Always
