Bug Description

Binary package hint: gcalctool

Before the upgrade, I had 10 numbers stored in the saved registers. Not only is this data unavailable, there is no longer space to store 10 numbers.

My use case, is that I stored a daily number in register number (day mod 10).

The good news is that downgrading to 5.28.2 restores the missing values.

Yes, the data is not removed, it is just stored in a different form in the new gcalctool. It should migrate it across though.
