Description Martin Simon 2012-07-02 11:15:18 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #833006 +++

Description of problem:
If I do not enter any binary operator, the gcalctool thinks it's only one token entered, that's wrong.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gcalctool-6.4.2.1-1.fc17.i686

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. 2(-3)^2
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
36

Expected results:
18

Additional info:
-3^2 should give me -9, not 9.. The square is associated from right, it means -3^2 it's the same as -(3)^2, not (-3)^2 as gcalctool pretends. Only way how to reach -9 is to enter -1*3^2 and that's really ugly solution.

The bug is not present in the latest gnome-calculator (gnome-calculator-3.8.2-1.el7.x86_64). Closing this bug as fixed then
