Public bug reported: gcalctool 6.2.0-0ubuntu2 is a great tool to copy, past and calculate formula from a document. Normally, false syntax causes a error message, for example "1+1W+1" --> ERROR. That is OK.
But the result of "1+1Ω+1" is NOT "error" but "2"! The charakter above is "Omega", but it is the same with other special characters, for example "no-break space". All characters after the special charakter are ignored. By the way: A nice feature after fix this bug: Immediately marking red and ignoring all caracters which not needed for calculation. For example: 12 V x 2 A --> 24.
