Bug Description

Binary package hint: gcalctool

Steps to reproduce:
1. Switch to the Scientific view
2. Activate the trailing zeroes setting
3. Switch to the Advanced or Financial view

Result:
The trailing zeroes setting is active but the ability to turn it off is grayed out in the menu.

Expected result:
Trailing zeroes should be turned off when switching.

Proposing for stable release update

Impact of bug: Trailing zeroes can be displayed but not able to be disabled (unless user changes back to scientific or programming mode)
Solution: Code change to disable trailing zero option when not in scientific mode
Risk: Low, changes only effect this option

TEST CASE:
1. Open gcalctool
2. Check "show trailing zeroes" menu option is only sensitive in scientific mode
3. Change to scientific mode and enable show trailing zeroes
4. Change to other mode and confirm trailing zeroes are not shown (repeat for all other modes)

(note this change is the same as in bug 483730)

In all cases after updating to the SRU, the "show trailing zeros" was able to be changed. SRU verified as fixed.

---------------
gcalctool (5.28.2-0ubuntu1) karmic-proposed; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    - Fix negative exponential detection e.g. "2e−3" = 0.002 (LP: #483730)
    - Only disable trailing zeroes option in basic mode (LP: #484306)
    - Disable ambiguous multiplication with Eulers number, e.g. "2e" as this
      makes exponential numbers confusing (LP: #495551)
