  • Resolution set to obsolete
  • Status changed from new to closed

Testing in Calculate-31 I can't reproduce the 'hit several times Enter, you get an error' issue, and the 'mixed up screen after a long input in calculator' item was an issue during Sugar's the transition from Matchbox to Metacity. It affected several other activities and was fixed in Sugar some time back.
