I think I found an issue with the new calculator in 10.3.6. When I am in calculator and I select "Speak Button Pressed" from the speech menu, the next time I open calculator the calculator window never gets drawn on the screen! When I deselect the menu and then open calculator again the window is there. Strange huh?

That is strange. I just repeated your findings and shore 'nuf, exactly as you said.

Another bug: In the calculator, enter a number (1-9), enter a decimal point, enter zero(s), enter a number. The first number will be displayed properly, but the zeros will not be displayed until followed by a number (1-9). Strangely, the computations work correctly.

Also, when the decimal is first entered, it is not in the correct position, but rather appears in the lower part of the window, above the M- (in the Basic calculator).

And Apple calls this a fix? Musta hired some folks from Redmond.

yep on the non display on the window...


perhaps the zero bug is deliberate. 1.000000000 is still 1
