works fine after i do this:

dconf write /org/gnome/calculator/refresh-interval 0

The problem looks to be

     var bodyinput = yield session.send_async (message, 1, new GLib.Cancellable());

That is not the signature of the function and it doesn't return the body input. But: I don't know Vala and could be misinterpreting.

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

Similar issue here:

    ** (gnome-calculator:58236): WARNING **: 14:38:49.211: currency-provider.vala:386: Cannot use ECB rates as don't have EUR rate

    ** (gnome-calculator:58236): WARNING **: 14:38:49.966: currency-provider.vala:161: Couldn't download IMF currency rate file: HTTP/2 Error: INTERNAL_ERROR

    (gnome-calculator:58236): libsoup-WARNING **: 14:38:49.966: (../libsoup/soup-session.c:334):soup_session_dispose: runtime check failed: (soup_connection_manager_get_num_conns (priv->conn_manager) == 0)

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I can confirm that doing the following has removed the issue:

    dconf write /org/gnome/calculator/refresh-interval 0
