[Bug 656696] [NEW] Horizontal scrolling is a poor solution

2010-10-07 Thread brian r
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gcalctool First, kudos to the calculator team for the new look, the colours, and the novel bolding of the computed results. Its nice to know that improvements can always be made to familiar tools like this. However... while we are all familiar with text

2010-06-06 Thread brian r
The contact edit fields in the Evolution UI don't seem to support the notion of preferred designations among field sets of the same type and I suspect that the underlying storage schema doesn't either. However this is no reason to mess up vcard imports with fields that have them. It should skip ov

2008-04-12 Thread brian r
I hadn't thought about the issue of fractional results but yes, they need as much precision as can be provided. I'm not sure why the 'show trailing zeros' option was set to on on my machine (and hence this issue thread) but I can't seem to shake the notion that rendering the appropriate level of

Yes, it deals with the problem but I don't believe it is one that needs a separate menu option to 'fix' it. As above, the appropriate sig fig display level should be taken from most precise user value entered. -- Too many sig figs (1-2 = -1.0) !! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/216420 Yo
