Bug Description

Binary package hint: gcalctool

gcalctool is nice application and I like possibility to see all summands (example "12+123+12312+3423+23545+97" ) on the sreen before pressing "=" - It is very useful functionality - as you can check twice before pressing "=".

But It will be nice to have ability to WordWrap sentence to few lines instead of making horizontal scrolling - because scrolling hide half of sentence, and annoy. Special option for this in menu "View" will be good compromise.

Sentence: "12+123+12312+3423+23545+97"
Expected if I have short calculator window width:
"12+123
+12312+3423
+23545+97"
