Hi
Ok, so here's some more details.
First off, it seems to work fine right now, also, it seems another
quirky thing is gone.
The quirky thing- for some time now the calculator always rounded. I
don't know why, I'm almost certain that I didn't change any settings to
make it do this. But, it doesn't anymore.
I poked around with it some and it started returning very funky things,
and they started getting funkier, for instance most multiplication began
returning 10 and 10 only (except for things like 2*3 which was still 6).
Addition seemed, for the most part, fine. Division always seemed
ambivalent about the decimal.
I rebooted my machine and it was still funky. Maybe more so, but there
were only so many tests I could perform before it magically fixed
itself.
I tried it in Basic and Scientific, alternated between the two. Then I
decided to see how it worked in Advanced. A menu popped up Changing
Modes Clears Calculation that I had NEVER seen before.
Then everything worked fine in every mode and it stopped rounding.
I hope this isn't too vague, and I'm not making anything up.
At this point I couldn't tell you if it in fact was a bug in the
software or some other thing that I don't understand.
If you'd like any other specific information build information feel free
to ask and I'll send it.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. However, I can't reproduce it, when I type 240/.4, it
shows 600 (right answer). Can you give more details about specific steps
should we take to recreate it?
