Wp34s beta 2: possible serious bug in integer mode - Cristian Arezzini - 06-10-2011 I just noticed this now because I usually enter values in hex and not in binary, but this seems serious.
Example: if I try to enter 1234h in binary, which should be 0001 0010 0011 0100, on the display I see 0001 0010 0011b. If I switch one page to the left, I see 0000b. Same thing on the emulator, updated to latest version. Bug or mess-up on my part? :)

Re: Wp34s beta 2: possible serious bug in integer mode - Cristian Arezzini - 06-10-2011 Just to add to my previous post, this happens also in other bases and in other word sizes - all the bases and word sizes that produce a number with more than 12 digits. Only 12 digits are entered, the others are ignored.
Other modes as 1c, 2c don't fix the issue; and even turning off leading zeros doesn't fix it.
Re: Wp34s beta 2: possible serious bug in integer mode - Walter B - 06-10-2011 Ciao Cristian, That's no bug - it's a feature. You can't enter more than 12 digits in any base. No blind typing ;-) But you may of course enter 76543 octal and change the base to binary thereafter.

Re: Wp34s beta 2: possible serious bug in integer mode - Cristian Arezzini - 06-10-2011 Ah... Ok. I thought the intended behaviour could have been, for example, a scrolling screen - i.e. when entering "extra" digits, the whole display scrolls to the left and the leftmost digit disappears, going to the other page - exactly as it happens on the 16c.
