Thank you for your bug report. There's a upstream bug report about this: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=620191 Apparently the change was intentional (because "E" can now be a variable and having a second meaning would be ambiguous), see this IRC discussion: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/06/01/%23ubuntu-desktop.html
I'm setting the bug to confirmed, I personally think your use case is widespread enough to treat "E" special. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #620191 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=620191 ** Changed in: gcalctool (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Also affects: gcalctool via https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=620191 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- [gcalctool] scientific notation not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662876 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gcalctool in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
