substraction and division in formulas

This is the second strange thing I found:

for a calculated field, when trying to write the formula, I can use *, + but I don't have the option to use -, / . Those keys won't work...
So, I'm trying to write F8-F6, and I can't write the minus sign.
Also, I don't seem to have the option of using a number, let's say F8*0.09, which would be useful for tax calculation, etc...

I was able to reproduce both of these problems as well. I'm not able to enter a \ or - a decimal point. Are you also seeing any issue when you do enter an actual number that it's not putting the character in the right position?

I will work on getting this reported to the developer as well.

Hi!

Yes, I noticed that as well, but I didn't know exactly how it was supposed to work, so I didn't mention it...
