Description Junakreiter 2024-07-10 19:09:28 UTC 
* When pressing enter the result jumps to the upper screen and cant be copied.
* Functions like "log" or "ln" or  "sin" have to be pressed before the number witch is unusual.
For a simple calculator it is not very useful to have everything different.



Archlinux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.2

Just copy before pressing equal?

The behavior is different because the old way is just not compatible with the input display, because the input is written from left to right.

If you want to emulate the old behavior press "=" and then sin/log... will wrap the number.

There were numerous reports asking for the input display, give it a try...
