Calculator crashes when you edit number in specific order

[Mike Fairbank]

Binary package hint: gcalctool

Follow the following steps to reproduce this bug:
1.Make sure the view is on scientific display mode
2. Type in the number 1.005^1701010.1000000
3. Move the editing cursor to the position after the 7
4. Hold down the delete key on the keyboard.
5. Observe the first few characters right of the 7 are deleted, but after at the moment the decimal point is about to be deleted, the calculator application hangs.

Thanks.

Thanks for reporting the bug very precisely and for making ubuntu better.

I can reproduce bug with the exact same configuration.

Linked upstream as well.

It seems that this bug is fixed in version 5.24-1
Can't reproduce it on another config running intrepid

Dear Xavier,
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for looking into it.

I'll raise anything else odd I notice, as an aim to contribute to making
Gnome and Ubuntu better.

Thanks for you own work on the Gnome / Ubuntu product - it is a great
collaborative work.

Best wishes,

Mike Fairbank.
