Title:
gnome-calculator result does not match displayed numbers when re-doing
operation
Status in “gnome-calculator” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Steps to reproduce (see attached 8-pane picture):
- Open gnome-calculator
- Type "1+1" (pane 1).
- Press enter. "2" is displayed in bold (pane 2).
- Type "+1" (pane 3).
- Press enter. "3" is displayed in bold (pane 4).
Now comes the issue:
- Press enter [*]. "2+1", with a bold "2", is displayed (pane 5).
- Press enter. "4" is displayed in bold (pane 6).
- Press enter [*]. "2+1", with a bold "2", is displayed (pane 7).
- Press enter. "5" is displayed in bold (pane 8).
- ...
It would appear that after pressing enter to go from the result to the
previous expression, the portion in bold font really refers to the
current last answer, "Ans" as denoted typically in calculators.
Instead of the current last answer, gnome-calculator is incorrectly
displaying what "Ans" was *before the expression was written*, but it
then uses the current last answer in the operation, resulting in the
nonsensical 2+1=4, etc., exemplified above.
"Ans" (or equivalent) should be displayed in these cases.
