Okay, I think I've found the reason for the issue. Basically, the
calculator is viewing the *new input* and the *last answer* as separate
numbers. Since no operator is specified, it is assumed to be
multiplication between the two numbers.  So on this bug, you type:

First calc: -512−165+412−60
First result: -325
New input: 1849-325

...however, the *calculator* sees

New input: 1849 * -325

therefore, it sends out the (in it's mind correct) answer of

-600925
