** Description changed:
- The calculator app doesn't open when the calculator button on the
- keyboard is pressed. I'm using a Logitech K520 keyboard. I found this:
- https://askubuntu.com/questions/1031673/cannot-open-calculator-app-from-
- keyboard-calculator-button An out-of-the-box solution would be nice
- though.
+ * Impact
+ The calculator keybinding doesn't work with the gnome-calculator snap
- ProblemType: Bug
- DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04
- Package: gnome-calculator (not installed)
- ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-36.39-generic 4.15.18

- InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-09-29 (7 days ago)
- InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64
(20180725)
- SourcePackage: gnome-calculator
- UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
+ * Test case
+ - go to gnome-control-center, keyboard and configure a keybinding to start
the calculator (or use the default one which is the calculator key if you have
a keyboard including one of those)
+ - install gnome-calculator as a snap and remove the deb (should be the case
on the default installation)
+ - press the configured key
+
+ -> the calculator should start
+
+ * Regression potential
+ The code allows trying 2 .desktop name, upstream renamed their in the 3.23
which was in zesty, they still include the fallback but Ubuntu hasn't been
needed it since zesty, the patch changes to know about the current .deb name
and about the snap one. If users had pinned an years old version of the
calculator then their keybinding is going to stop working
** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Fix Committed
