           Summary: invalid fraction result display
           Product: kbruch
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: seb_stein gmx de
        ReportedBy: emmanuel.touzery wanadoo fr


Version:           3.3 (using KDE KDE 3.3.1)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.2.2 mandrake 9.1
OS:                Linux

This is not a crash bug, but when playing with kbruch, I got the following question:
1/5 - 5/2

i entered for a result in the top entry box "-23" and the bottom "10" (-23/10).
The program said it is "correct" and displayed:
1/5-5/2 = -23/10 (what was displayed so far) = -23/10 = -2 * (3/10)

of course, that -23/10 would be equal to -2 * (3/10) is very wrong!
that would really be very confusing for a child who assumes the program is always right to see that...
