Oops! Originally, I thought there was an issue with both the multiplication and
minus sign functions, so I wrote up a bug report combining both into one
report. I then discovered that there was no problem with the multiplication
function after all, as it was simply that I had not Toggle Automatic Spell
Checking to on. So, I did a quick, albeit flawed, edit before filing the
report. Unfortunately, during all this, there was someone in the library who
suffered a seizure and the library was swarming with the Emergency Medical
Team, Firefighters, and Police just a few meters away from me trying to save
this man's life. Not an excuse; but a reason (lack of concentration) for the
bad edit.

There does not seem to be a way to go back and edit the description of the bug
report title, or delete the report entirely and resubmit it, so I guess it will
unfortunately have to stay the way it is--but, you are correct. The issue is
with the minus sign function.
