Okay, I think I've found the reason for the issue, and you're right; it
is a duplicate.  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.
On this bug, for instance, I type

7

This works normally.  7 = 7; it correctly calculates that.  Then I move
my arrow key over to type a 12 before the 7 and the arrow keys right to
type +7.  However, where I am seeing

127 + 7

the calculator is seeing

12 x 7 + 7

Therefore, it calculates that 12 * 7 (84) + 7 = 91.  It's the same issue
on the duplicate; I'll explain in a comment over there.
