Bug Description
Binary package hint: gcalctool
When I try to compute (3 log 3+4 log 16)/(log 16+log 3) in the calculator, it says "malformed equation" at the bottom, even though the same equation simplifies fine on my graphing calculator. I'm using Ubuntu 9.04. I don't know anything bout software or stuff like that (my technological genius of a friend installed it for me and put wine and things like that on it), so I can't tell you what package I'm using since I don't know what that is. I expected it to give me the same answer as my graphing calculator. Instead it said "malformed equation".

* New upstream release: (LP: #399160)
- Update bit editor after shifting (Robert Ancell, Bug #587545) (LP: #394375)
- Use a base-10 internal representation (Robert Ancell, bug #585813, bug #585931, bug #560802) (LP: #375356) (LP: #387070)
- Make padding consistent in GUI (Jerry Casiano, Bug #587292)
- Support implicit multiply before functions, e.g. "6 log 3" (Robert Ancell, Bug #586812) (LP: #389533)

- Use lowercase notation for trigonometric and logarithm functions to look
more like standard mathematical notation
- Put spacing around functions, i.e. "sin" -> " sin "
- Use subscript for logarithm base two, i.e. "log2" -> "log₂"
- Added etched border around display (Robert Ancell, Bug #140836)
- Rewrote out of date man page (Robert Ancell, Bug #585997)
