When I enter "2" into KCalc and I hit * seven times I get 1,84467440737e+19. I don't see its real meaning.
My real-world Casio calculator doesn't multiply the current number with itself, either (rather then put a "K" to the screen meaning the inverse operation will occur, but now it's indifferent).

I'm not against the current behaviour but I don't think it should be the default but optional.
Many times when I write the same procedures more times, KCalc shows different results because I hit "+" one more accidentally.

Reproducible: Always
