Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gcalctool
I think this is a low priority deficiency, more than a problem bug.
When I entered 64^33554432= (in scientific mode) gcalctool dutifully began
calculating it for me without so much as a "Are you sure we have the time for
this?". I did not expect it to actually start immediately, considering the
figures involved. Seems to me, some sort of notice that my request would take a
while should have been displayed before the attempt.
