upstream said it's not a bug: "Ahh, I reread the original bug. Yes, the "^" key will only work in scientific mode because that's where the x^y button resides.
The key equivalent of x squared is "@". If you hover the mouse over the button you'll see this information. In gcalctool Basic mode, I used the keyboard to enter 4 @ = I got the result of 16. NOTABUG." ** Changed in: gcalctool (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Rejected -- Calculator doesn't let me punch in "^" manually without using x^2 button. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/110029 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
