Bug Description

Binary package hint: gcalctool

If I have several instances of Firefox open on different websites and minimize them I can still tell them apart on the Gnome Panel because Firefox displays the title/heading of each webpage on the window title bar.

The calculator app only just shows its name beside the icon, it never changes.

I'd like to be able to open any number of calculators, work with them, and still be able to reference their final values if the calculator windows are hidden under other applications.

The calculator icon would still be there, it would just be followed by a numeric value.

Would this be still relevant after the changes in the GNOME ecosystem? GNOME panel only exists in the classic mode, and the Calculator window title is not displayed in the headerbar anymore.
