Description Evan Teran 2006-01-09 21:16:33 UTC

Version:           2.0 (using KDE 3.5.0, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.4 (Gentoo 3.4.4-r1, ssp-3.4.4-1.0, pie-8.7.8)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.14-gentoo-r5

it seems that upong pasting kcalc drops the sign bit always which yields incorrect results.

steps to reproduce:

set kcalc to hex mode
type 0xb0000000 (or any value with 32nd bit set really) into any application (konsole will do)
highlight this text to place into the cut buffer
middle click on the display field in kcalc to paste the value

the value displayed is 30000000 and it shoudl clearly be B0000000

Looks like it's the same as bug 120058

Comment 2 Evan Teran 2006-01-14 15:32:30 UTC

Actually I think it is slightly different.  In my version of the bug, the sign bit is actually _lost_ and it doesn't involve switching bases. In the other, the decimal value remains correct but when shown in hex is wrong, and when switching back, the correct value remains.

So I am going to have to disagree with this decision.

I have tried the example given in the bug report with KCalc 2.0.3, and it seems to work now.
