Bug Description
Binary package hint: gcalctool
I just had a very practical problem: Comparing price/capacity-
My "intuition"/hope was to open some tabs to store the results in, what was not possible.
Instead I have to open multiple instances and do not get a notice about where the results come from.
Tabs could be used to store a small number of equations and results. They could be entitled with the equation and contain the result. In my case titles should have been "75,52/1000", "108,43/1500" and "215,31/2000" containing "0,07525", "0,072286667" and "0,107655". It would be great, if there was no need for repeating the computations, of course.
Referring to nautilus somewhat-new tabs I made neat mockup of how this could look like.

I'm going to close this as a duplicate of bug 261062 in that the requirement is to be able to see the results of multiple calculations at the same time. Using tabs would be a very complex solution (lots of additional UI, each tab would need to be manually managed and closed) and wouldn't scale past a few calculations.
