2015-07-24 08:40:37 Bartosz Kosiorek description Partial result feature is broken and there is no easy way to fix it. E.g: 1+2x2x (result is 5) x 2. On your screen there is 5*2, but the ressul is 9. We cannot fix it in a simple way (tbh I think we cannot have it working at all) because we have advanced functions. If there is something different from a ^ in the calculus we can calculate wrong partial result. E.g. 3 + (1 * 2) This seems easy, because there is a parethesis, but if we had a * 3 we have: displayed: 5 * 3 = 15 actual = 3 + 3 *3 = 12 Due this reason I suggest to remove the feature. We already have a bad review on the store due this weird behavior: https://uappexplorer.com/app/com.ubuntu.calculator Partial result feature is broken and there is no easy way to fix it.

Proposed solution: 1. Get rid of temporarly result 2. Instead of introduce multi line formula InputField - When entered formula exceed InputField width, then the new line wil appear It will be good to also do it with Formula's History, to fix issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ux/+bug/1446808 The history displays could be limited to 3 lines. After formula exceeds 3 lines, the three dots will be displayed.
