Public bug reported:
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.
