Comment 2 for bug 1409485

I don't see any reasoning for using the term 'critical' in this bug's context. Both types of input are perfectly valid to the calculator and I do not believe into hijacking user input for the purpose of consistent display. Most likely you are using one way of input anyway (and not both mixed) and moreover, I assume users who were able to install a Linux distribution are able to recognise both "*" and "×" as the same operator.
