I believe different currencies are fetched from different servers, so one of those might have been slower to respond or have returned an error the first time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2100300 Title: gnome-calculator not doing currency conversion To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-calculator/+bug/2100300/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I switched to keyboard mode and tested from these, and noticed that it's all working now. So I switched back to Finance mode and now the currencies listed above also convert correctly. Could have been some caching maybe? Not sure.

The fix only addresses the problem partially. It coverts USD ($) to EUR and quite a few others correctly. However there are quite a few that don't convert both ways (from and to a currency) Russian Ruble to USD South African Rand to USD Pakistani Rupee to USD Serbian Dinar to USD and quite a few others. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2100300 Title: gnome-calculator not doing currency conversion To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-calculator/+bug/2100300/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
