Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we can't fix it because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures

At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

*1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the
problem,*

Doing this operation: 1.0-0.2-0.2-0.2-0.2-0.2 the result is -0.

* 2. the behavior you expected, and*

  Must do 0.

* 3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).*

It don't ocurred with all posibiliies but occure in any others.

I haven't more info that this, this bug causes that any time the result 0 is
changed by -0 without reason for the user. I can't give you more detailes
that sended the first time, because I don't have more, only this.
Also, the info send this time, is the same to first time, only different is
that is responding your steps.
