Public bug reported:
I've been attempting to use the calculator in Raring but it appears to
be broken when in Programming mode and made to convert between binary,
octal, decimal and hexadecimal. Older versions of Ubuntu would convert
when you type your number in a particular format, say binary, and then
select another number format from the dropdown, say hexadecimal, and it
would appear. In Raring this doesn't happen and it simply clears the
screen. If you then select back to the original number format, say
binary -> hex -> binary, then it comes up with a rubbish value, not the
original.
To replicate:
1. Open calculator
2. Switch to programming mode from the Application menu
3. Switch to Hexadecimal input
4. Enter 80 and press return (the number should become bold)
5. Switch it to hexadecimal from the dropdown.
Expected output: 10000000
Actual ouput: The input screen is cleared
This appears to do it for all conversions.
