[GNC] GNU Cash not performing math functions correctly on entry

[Michael Campbell]

Hello All,

Long time lurker here, first time poster. I have been learning to use 
GNU Cash for my personal finances and now business for the past 10 
years. I am still learning.

When entering Goods and Services Tax for an entry, I used to just be 
able to divide the total cost by eleven in the ledger and it would 
calculate the proper amount. i.e., $72.25/11 would enter $6.57 into the 
ledger.

I am not sure if there has been an update or somehow I have changed a 
setting but now when I perform the calculation in the entry field I get: 
$72.25/11 enters $656.82 - clearly not correct. It is out by a factor of 
100 which should be a clue.

Is this a bug in GNU Cash in a recent update or have I somehow screwed 
up a setting some where - and if so where would I start to look?

Thanks, I hope someone can help me resolve this annoying issue.
