Summary: krunner calculator plugin can't handle multiple exponents

Description Unknown 2008-12-11 06:08:51 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unspecified

If I type 

=2^2

into krunner, it gives me 4. If I type either of

=2^2^1
=(2^2)^1

It gives me 1. For some reason, when there are multiple exponents in an expression, the answer returned is the value after the last exponent. For example,

=(2^2)^(5*2)

gives 10.

This is pretty bad. It almost caused me to write down the wrong answer for my combinatorics take home exam, yikes!
