@Amr Ibrahim: I'm not a sponsor, but I had a quick glance at your patch,
and I'm pretty sure it's not correct. The merge proposal that Leon Liao
prepared for saucy looks much more convincing to me. If you want this to
be dealt with soon, I would suggest that you try to prepare a similar
merge proposal against trusty-proposed. Please note that changes may not
be made to the original source directly, but you need to do it via a
patch in debian/patches.

  to my PPA

  I've attached a diff file. Please test and SRU to trusty.

  [Impact]

  This bug gives wrong results when undo is used.

  [Test Case]

  1. Open calculator and type "5000/60" followed by <Enter>. The
  calculator produces the right answer, 83.333...

  2. Type "/60" followed by <Enter> to divide by 60 again. The
  calculator again produces the right answer, 1.388...

  3. Press <ctrl>-Z to undo the last calculation.

  4. Press <backspace> twice to delete the last "60".

  5. Type "12" followed by <Enter>, to divide by 12 instead.

  The calculator gives the wrong answer.

  [Regression Potential]

  The fixes themselves could introduce new bugs.

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  I found this bug trying to redo a calculation. Do a calculation maybe
  with decimals like I did and then press CTRL+Z and hit enter and you
  should see the bug.

  It's making a bad calculation after these steps.
