Description Shriramana Sharma 2006-02-26 04:51:42 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

The behaviour of KCalc reported at bug #119355 and which has been fixed for KDE 3.51 still persists in the Kicker Math Expression Evaluator applet in KDE 3.51. Please fix it. Thanks.

this is because the math applet is just using the (rather limited) C functions for these things and not a "proper" math library. this has also been reported in another fashion. essentially, if someone came along and rewrote the applet to use a math lib versus the built in C functions we might get somewhere.

personally, i'm not interested in doing that myself. i'm sure someone else will be eventually.

How about KDE4? Will we still have a Math Eval Applet? Then it will have to be done, no?

Please tell me where I can find the relevant source code so I can try what little I can do. Thanks.

assuming someone writes/maintains the code for it, yes.
