Bug Description

Binary package hint: gcalctool

On gcalctool 5.22.0-0ubuntu2 on Hardy Beta up-to-date.

I use my keyboard to type into gcalctool. Every key work, but the "*" key : nothing happens when I type it, and I have to click on the "*" button manually in order to make a multiplication. There is no problem with "/", "+", "-". Tried with both compiz-fusion enabled and disabled, and it didn't change anything.

I'm using a laptop computer (Dell Vostro 1500) with a french AZERTY keyboard without keypad. I didn't try with other types of keyboard.

This bug was fixed in the package gcalctool - 5.22.1-0ubuntu1

---------------
gcalctool (5.22.1-0ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * New upstream version
    - fixes the multiply problem on some keyboards (LP: #212274)
  * Removal of the shifting patch (03_shifing_keys) since it is incorporated
    upstream.
  * Addition of a patch (03_fix_power_interpretation) since it has been
    forgotten upstream (LP: #204682)
