The new implementation of scientific notation (which I dont like) also works 
intermittently. 
If I want to enter say 1.567E5+1.1E5

I type 1.567, press the x10y key then type 5.

some times I get the correct 1.567x10^5 and sometimes I get 1.567x105
(as in one hundred and five).

a) When it works, I then press + then 1. But that 1 ends up super
script. I cant return to normal size.

b) When it doesn't work, I delete the 5 from 105 and try holding down
alt, this works for top row numbers but not the numeric key pad. so alt+
(top row)5 gets it, but then its a case of case a) with it stuck on
superscript.

so in short, the only way to do the sum on gcalctool is to enter
156700+110000!

This is the case on both my desktops using ubuntu 10.10 (one a fresh
install). using gcalctool 5.32.0.
