STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open KCalc
2. Change to logic mode
3. Change input to HEX, enter 55 (0x55)
4. convert to binary -> click on Bin
5. the conversion should have 8 bits but shows only 7 bits

OBSERVED RESULT
101 0101
the conversion should have 8 bits but shows only 7 bits

EXPECTED RESULT
1010 1010
the conversion should have 8 bits but shows only 7 bits

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Efe Ciftci 2023-09-29 11:16:50 UTC 
The decimal number 5 (0x5 in hexadecimal) is represented as "(0)101" in binary (4+1), therefore I don't see anything wrong with 0x55 -> (0)101 0101. 1010 1010 is 0xAA.
Comment 2 Paul Worrall 2024-03-12 14:51:33 UTC 
Setting to "Not a bug" because the conversion is correct and leading zeroes are not shown in any of the number systems
