unfortunately I get 404 error for the link. I'll try and look around armed with the bug number. > Please describe what you are seeing here.

I would expect that there is no value input and symbol input from 'a/A-f/F' are ignored. I think when Hexadecimal input is available, it should take precedence over features like Function editing and Accuracy setup that are easily reachable through buttons but nowhere used as frequently as the Hexadecimal inputs. > Note that in left-t-right arithmetic mode in Decimal mode, > you can't enter hex numbers at all, so perhaps you were > expecting something similar?" Yes, but insensitive to the case of the entered symbol. (While it's logical that there is no 'capital 1', but why do I have to press Shift whenever I go over 9) In the end, sorry for the bug report, I should have RTFM'd more. -- Hexadecimal input is not intuitive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133915 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
