Wrong (opposite) results of dividing when using denominators with exponents

[Ondra336]

For unknown reason, MATE calculator is giving totally "opposite"*** results when dividing using denominators with exponents (e.g. 1x10^-2 or 1x10^2). When the same denominators are written using numeric notation (e.g. 0.01 or 100), the results are right - see picture below.

***) "opposite" = results like the exponents were exchanged, i.e. like it was using positive version of negative exponents and vice versa.

Expected behaviour

1x10^3 / 1x10^-2 = 1x10^5 (ie. 100000)
1x10^3 / 1x10^2 = 10

Actual behaviour

1x10^3 / 1x10^-2 = 10
1x10^3 / 1x10^2 = 100000

(when you use comma-notation, the result is right: 1000 / 0.01 = 100000, or 1000 / 100 = 10)

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Dividing by any number with exponent

MATE general version

mate-calc package installed on Ubuntu (1.26.0-1build2)

Package version

MATE Calculator 1.26.0 (but I noticed the same error also in earlier version)

Linux Distribution

Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS

Illustration of error - each two adjacent rows of history contain equivalent notations, however produce different results:
