Title:
  Complex numbers are exponentiated incorrectly

Status in GNOME Calculator:
  Fix Released
Status in gnome-calculator package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gnome-calculator source package in Xenial:
  Triaged
Status in gnome-calculator source package in Yakkety:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The calculator incorrectly performs exponentiation if the base is
  complex and the exponent is a positive integer. Under these conditions
  the calculator exponentiates the real part of the base and leaves its
  imaginary part intact, that does not agree with the complex numbers
  operation rules. If the exponent is not a positive integer, the
  calculation is performed correctly.

  Steps to reproduce the bug:

  1. Start the program.
  2. Evaluate expression "i^2". The displayed result is "i".
  3. Evaluate expression "(1+i)^2". The displayed result is "1+i".
  4. Evaluate expression "(2+i)^2". The displayed result is "4+i".

  Please find a quick fix patch attached. I did not study its
  comprehensiveness and optimality, but it seems to work.
