gnome-calculator result does not match displayed numbers when re-doing operation

[pablomme]

Steps to reproduce (see attached 8-pane picture):

- Open gnome-calculator
- Type "1+1" (pane 1).
- Press enter. "2" is displayed in bold (pane 2).
- Type "+1" (pane 3).
- Press enter. "3" is displayed in bold (pane 4).

Now comes the issue:

- Press enter [*]. "2+1", with a bold "2", is displayed (pane 5).
- Press enter. "4" is displayed in bold (pane 6).
- Press enter [*]. "2+1", with a bold "2", is displayed (pane 7).
- Press enter. "5" is displayed in bold (pane 8).
- ...

It would appear that after pressing enter to go from the result to the previous expression, the portion in bold font really refers to the current last answer, "Ans" as denoted typically in calculators. Instead of the current last answer, gnome-calculator is incorrectly displaying what "Ans" was *before the expression was written*, but it then uses the current last answer in the operation, resulting in the nonsensical 2+1=4, etc., exemplified above.

"Ans" (or equivalent) should be displayed in these cases.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This got fixed in gnome-calculator 3.10.3 based on my testing. Can somebody look at whether it's feasible to package this for 14.04?

[Chris Malton (chrism-u)]

I've pushed a testing package for 3.10.3 to my PPA - please could people test and confirm the results.

Note to Maintainer: If results look good, could you consider bundling into Ubuntu
