Calculator problem

[paulbaker]

I like to use Calculator a lot of time. But since I bought my new MacBook in April, the Calculator displays all answers in scientific notation. I don't just mean really big numbers, but, like 5 to 10 digit numbers. I have fiddled and can't get it to not do that. Very annoying. Does anyone have any suggestions?

try view/basic instead of scientific?

Does not change any thing. It appears to be stuck.

delete the com.apple.calculator.plist file and relaunch calculator

Click on View, then move your mouse over Precision, and try setting it to a higher number.

Yea!

delete the com.apple.calculator.plist file and relaunch calculator

Of all the suggestions, this one worked. Now I know. Thank you so much!
