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?

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

Status in “gnome-calculator” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
