Bug Description
gnome-calculator 3.8.1 (3.8.1-0ubuntu1) on Ubuntu 13.04 x86_64:
In Advanced mode, enter:
8×10¹²÷6×10⁹
(keystrokes: [8] [×10^y] [1] [2] [/] [6] [×10^y] [9])
Result:
1.333333333×10²¹
Correct answer:
1333.33333333333
(so gnome-calculator is off by 18 orders of magnitude. The ‘×10^y’ steps should be carried out first, according to operator precedence for exponentiation.)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/Bugs/ Upstream/ GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.
