Bug Description
Ubuntu 22.04LTS standard calculator in advanced mode.
click on Sqrt
enter 5.2x10^1 paste from a previous result
click on enter
answer is 2.28x10^1 (ie 22.8 is the sqr of 52)
should be 7.2111
obviously, someone got tangled up parsing the exponent.
Hilarious case of shoelaces tied together :)
