Calculator Does Not Paste Negative Value into Display Window

• Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
• Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0
• Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

Calculator displays data incorrectly when you paste negative values into the display window.

For example, making a calculation producing a negative number (such as 1-2 = -1) displays the correct result. However, when you copy the result to the Clipboard and then paste the copied value back into the display window, the negative value becomes a positive value.

RESOLUTION

To work around this issue, paste the negative value into the display window and then press F9 to make the value negative.
