Vlad,
I am not sure the comma is working here:
15000/340=44.11, 44/2.2=20.05
44.11/2.2=20.05
44/2.2=20
It seems in the single line, the 44.11 has been taken for the calculation...

Honestly speaking I'm bit confused about this issue, and here is why... What you've found make sense indeed, however, the reason why it happens is because we allow spaces in numbers, by initial design we wanted to treat numbers like 28 000 as 28000, cause frequently people like to separate digits to ease reading. While we cannot use dots and commas as thousand separator (for various locales these chars are used to separate decimal number part), so we've allowed spaces.
So what we can do it... We can fix it in the app, but in this case will be no way to keep big numbers readable... At a same time, is it readable to have text line like this - €1090/mt, +220 1090+220=2201310? Wouldn't it be easier to put dot or comma after +220 to separate this number from the equation?
Vlad, in this case, I guess its a feature vs a bug decision. For me I simply did not know that you had designed it like that. I don't use a space in a number, I would find that more confusing. I would prefer a comma, but I understand the reasons why you cannot easily implement that. I would say now I know what is happening (perhaps stick it in the documentation) that it should be left as it is. Not much trouble to put a comma in the line....

Another example
€1090/mt, +220 1090+220=2201310
€1090/mt, +220 1090+220=2201310

Calculation Feature, Misscalculates...
If you don't do each calculation on a new line, it seems that the calc can be wrong.
i.e if I do the following;
700*4/100=28 28000*1.8=5090400
There is a space between the 700*4/100=28 and the 28000*1.8=5090400 but this part should be 50400....
Also while I am on the topic. Could % be added to the calc i.e. 700*4%=28??????
