Editor/Parser bug
Tue, 04/21/2009 - 11:27
There is an error in how minus signs are handled in some kinds of edits.
This is the simplest example I have found
1. Enter subtract template
2. Enter 1 on the left
3. Enter the fraction template on the right
4. Enter 2 in the numerator
5. Enter 1 in the denominator
The app correctly displays
1 - 2/1 = -1
6. Delete the value in the denominator
7. Delete the denominator
The app incorrectly displays
1 - 2 = 3
If you email the formula, the app sends
1 + 2 = 3
This is also what the app displays if you exit and return.

A similar bug without deletions.
1. Enter 1+2
2. Highlight the 2 and enter the subtract template
3. Enter 3 into the new box
The app correctly displays
1 + 2 - 3 = 0
4. Highlight the 3 and enter the fraction template
5. Enter 1 into the denominator
The app now displays
1 + 2 - 3/1 = 6

BTW deleting the denominator in the last example does not fix things. It just displays
1 + 2 - 3 = 6

This should all be fixed in the 1.01 update that I submitted for review yesterday. Hopefully the review process will be brief.
Again, sorry about that.

1.01 is now on the App Store, which should resolve this bug. If any odd behavior still persists, please let me know.
Thanks again for pointing this out.

I upgraded to version 1.01, and those bugs have been exterminated. Good work.

You're correct, that is an error. It looks like the subtraction bit is being reset when the denominator is removed. I'll fix that for the next update.
