Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gcalctool

Steps to reproduce:

open Calc.  entered the following sum:
980+544.69+519.69+515.68

Result:
"2560"

Expected result:
"2560.06"

Nothing on the display indicates that the decimal portion has been
hidden.  Unsuspecting users have no reason to question that the sum
simply rounds to an even number.  I consider this a major bug in a
calculation program.

The fix would be to show (via a scroll bar) that there is more data to
the right, or force the right-most digit to be displayed by default.
Images attached.  Running fully updated Hardy.
