Title:
malformed expression with square root
Status in “gcalctool” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gcalctool
Do the following:
1. Click "1", "+", "1", "=" (or type it)
2. Calculator shows the answer "2"
3. Click on square root sign, then click "="
4. Calculator shows the error message "malformed expression"
Actually the calculator requires to click on "sqrt", "2", then "=".
This is completely counter-intuitive, and against work flow of
"normal" calculator. Moreover this way of working does not allow to
reuse existing results, and build up complex calculation from simple
intermediate ones.
To my opinion there should be at least an option so that operation
like square root, square, etc immediately apply the operation on the
current result, not after clicking "=", just like regular calculator.
