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.
Comment 1 Aaron J. Seigo 2006-02-27 01:25:54 UTC
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.

see above =)
