[Post-Install] KCalc

[vanadiumboy]

Problem 1:
If I do any calculation, such as
1 + 1 =

and I try to copy the result by clicking Edit -> Copy
the result doesn't get copied to the clipboard. This was working with Kubuntu 24.04


Problem 2:
If I press 1000
press divide
press 5
press the exponent button (it is written x 10^y on the button)
press 8

the result is 20,000,000,000 (20 billion)

instead of 2e-06

As to getting KCalc to display results as scientific notation:

Adjusting Precision Limits

If you want KCalc to seamlessly switch to scientific notation only when numbers exceed a specific length:

• Go to Settings → Configure KCalc...

• Under the General tab, look for Precision (Maximum number of digits displayed).

• KCalc is designed to automatically trigger scientific notation (e.g., 2.34e12) once a calculated number surpasses this defined digit threshold. You can lower this value if you want it to trigger sooner.

Making this setting change doesn't affect what you have already displayed. You can Edit the entered values and delete the last one and reenter that input and the output will change to scientific notation.
