Galculator

Galculator is a calculator app available in Debian. Debian 10 comes with version 2.1.4.

I seem to have found an odd bug in the software, so am documenting here to see if others can reproduce.

The display should be able to handle numbers bigger than 999. However it seems that is not the case if you use a separator (,) in between big numbers (which is designed to make it easier to read)

Consider 1,000,000 vs 1000000

This shows the software working as expected.

After setting a comma ( , ) as a Separator and entering a long number, we get a problem with the display.

According to the Debian tracker bullseye will have 2.1.4-1.1.

I am not sure if this happens in Debian 11, but I am just reporting this here, I can take a video later on, but that will just illustrate the same as above.

I would guess this can be reported to the Bug Tracking System if it can be reproduced.

My system here is:-
