Confirmed

Happens also in Ubuntu-14.04.3 (Same version of galculator).

This is the place causing segmentation fault, and here is easy fix (not sure what is breaks).

I've contacted the upstream developer.

Also in 15.10 daily 20150829, after setting to paper mode, cannot key in numbers.

gravy that sounds like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/galculator/+bug/1402459 which is also set to confirmed. Althuogh this one might need to be upstreamed as well. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/galculator/+bug/1402459

[gravy45 (gravy45)]

Yes, thanks.

[Martin Wimpress  (flexiondotorg)]

There is a new upstream release that fixes this issue.

[Martin Wimpress  (flexiondotorg)]

I've requested a sync from Debian.
