Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gcalctool
Do the following:
1. Click "1", "+", "1", "=" (or type it)
2. Calculator shows the answer "2"
3. Click on square root sign, then click "="
4. Calculator shows the error message "malformed expression"
Actually the calculator requires to click on "sqrt", "2", then "=".
This is completely counter-intuitive, and against work flow of "normal"
calculator. Moreover this way of working does not allow to reuse
existing results, and build up complex calculation from simple
intermediate ones.
To my opinion there should be at least an option so that operation like
square root, square, etc immediately apply the operation on the current
result, not after clicking "=", just like regular calculator.
