Public bug reported: Binary package hint: speedcrunch
Bug occurs with Ubuntu hardy (development branch), package speedcrunch 0.9-0ubuntu1 To reproduce the bug, enter: 2e-01<enter> This should be parsed (and displayed) as 0.2. Instead, it parses to 2.0. The behaviour is due to the leading 0 in the exponent, that makes the whole exponent parse to zero. Removing the leading 0 makes the number parse correctly. It is confirmed not to be a weird intentional feature by the program (fortunately). Unfortunately, this is a regression for Hardy. Gutsy parses correctly. The bug was initially reported to the Speedcrunch developers, who informed me it wasn't reproducible on Gutsy or in their new version 0.10. According to them, this should be a packaging error and they referred me here. Although the problem may seem a bit obscure, I found it extremely annoying. It prevents one from simply copying in the results of other codes when they happen to output their values in scientific notation with a two digit exponent. ** Affects: speedcrunch (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Speedcrunch parses exponent wrongly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213221 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
