Bug Description
Binary package hint: gcalctool
Gcalctool V5.29.2 in Programming mode
If a value is entered (eg in base 10), the method to view it in a different base (eg in base 16) is not obvious / not available
Clicking on the base buttons simply adds the base subscript
Conversion between bases was possible in previous versions of gcalctool eg Version 5.22.3 in Ubuntu 8.04

This bug was fixed in the package gcalctool - 5.29.92-0ubuntu1
---------------
gcalctool (5.29.92-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low
* New upstream release:
- Add shortcuts to base buttons (Ctrl+B, Ctrl+O, Ctrl+D, Ctrl+H)
- Convert number in display if it has a base and a base button is pressed
(LP: #499222)
- Make scientific notation button behave the same as keyboard shortcut (i.e.
go into superscript mode).
- Only allow superscript minus to be entered if can make a valid superscript
number, otherwise revert to standard minus.
- Allow hexadecimal numbers to be entered in lower-case
- Make bit editor active for displayed numbers not in base 10
- Make variable powers work, e.g. x²
- Fix spacebar not working when display has focus
- Load currency rates when doing typed currency conversion
- Use GIO instead of libsoup
* debian/control:
- Change build-dependency from libsoup2.4-dev to libglib2.0-dev
