Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gcalctool
Open Fox Calculator
Type 127
Hit the [+/-] button
display will show '-127' [gnome-calculator displays -(127)]
Press [Bin] button
display will show '11111111111111111111111110000001' [gnome-calculator displays
-1.111111e+110]
Press [Oct] button
display will show '37777777601' [gnome-calculator displays -177e+0]
Press [Hex] button
display will show 'FFFFFF81' [gnome-calculator displays -7Fe+0]
Press [Dec] button
It will show -127 [gnome-calculator displays -127e+0]
Is this getting weird?
e.g. both have screwed up, but worse yet gnome-calculator attempts to
extend hex to floating point notation....
So, really to make the point, let us put any of the values the
calculators produced and hit the conversion button to see if they come back
with the original value inputed (-127).
Press [AC]
Press [HEX]
Type FFFFFF81
Press [DEC]
Shows, 15658625
