Public bug reported: gcalctool evaluates the tanh function incorrectly.
gcalctool: Installed: 5.30.0.is.5.28.2-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 5.30.0.is.5.28.2-0ubuntu2 Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS Release: 10.04 Codename: lucid Steps to reproduce: Run "gconftool --solve 'tanh 0.1'". It will print 0.549833997, although the actual answer is 0.099667995. This is also repeatable using the graphical calculator interface. This has been fixed in Debian (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=604032) and Natty, but it's still a problem in Lucid. Can you please add the patch to Lucid and SRU this? It's a very simple patch, and it's pretty bad to have the default calculator in gnome give incorrect answers. ** Affects: gcalctool (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: gcalctool (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #604032 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=604032 ** Also affects: gcalctool (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=604032 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/871988 Title: tanh function returns incorrect results To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcalctool/+bug/871988/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
