Excess thousands separators after multiplication

[davidalves]

Binary package hint: gcalctool

Using hardy beta with all the latest updates as of 2008-3-31.
gcalctool package version is 5.22.0-0ubuntu2

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open calculator.
2) Enter 500000 (five hundred thousand)
3) Turn on thousands separator (Display now properly shows "500,000")
4) Press multiply button
5) Display now improperly shows "5,000,00*", expected "500,000*"
6) Enter 100
7) Display now improperly shows "5,000,00*,100", expected "500,000*100"
6) Press equals button
7) Display now shows "5,0,0,00,,000", expected "50,000,000"

After steps 3 and 4 I assumed that the thousands separator was just putting a comma after every 3 characters, but I have no idea what's going on after the multiply. Turning the thousands separator on and off after the multiply doesn't get rid of the error.

I just realized that 5,0,0,00,,000 is the result of applying the rule "put a comma after ever three characters starting at the right" twice in a row. Also, apologies for the having two step 6s and two step 7s in the steps to reproduce above. Apparently I have bugs too. =)
