Bug Description

In the advanced and financial modes, the conversion label above the buttons on the right causes the app to resize as it gets longer.
Steps to reproduce:
-start calculator app
-use the mode menu to put it in advanced or financial mode
-click in the input field
-type something long

As the conversion text grows in length, the whole program gets wider.
As the conversion text gets shorter (via backspace or enter), the whole program gets narrow.

Suggested Fix:
Make the calculator wide enough to support the maximum length of the conversion text
or make the conversion text shorter.

A program should not change its window size as you type. It looks ridiculous.
