[Bug 888335] [NEW] Calculator plasmoid does not accept entries with more than 4 digits

[Sergio Callegari]

Public bug reported:

On KDE 4.7.x

You cannot enter numbers larger than 9999 in the calculator (either with the
mouse or with the keyboard). Calculator shows "0" after the fourth digit.

Steps to Reproduce:
Try entering 12345+1

Type 1 > On screen you get "1"
Type 2 > On screen you get "12"
Type 3 > On screen you get "123"
Type 4 > On screen you get "1.234"
Type 5 > On screen you get "0"

This has already been broken for 4 point releases (4.7.0 to 4.7.3)
without any sign of activity on
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=281484. Please patch kubuntu's kde
to remove /usr/lib/kde4/plasma_applet_calculator.so altogether. It is
not a required package, there is a valid substitute (kalgebra) and
having broken stuff around does not help the user experience.
