[Bug 1362919] Re: gnome-calculator 3.10.2 report "incorrect expression" when switching from hexa to decimal

 

I think the logic here is that you have to "unselect" a result by pressing Enter so it doesn't appear bold before you can edit it. I would prefer that it unselect itself when you edit it but that just my opinion. But now, if I reproduce these step:
- choose "decimal" and enter a decimal number
- choose "hexadecimal" to convert the number in hexa
- press Enter to "unselect" the result to be able to edit it, it display the value in decimal again unselected

Maybe the logic should be to capture the whole actual input, regardless
of whet "selected" or not? I think that's what most people would expect,
like in an actual calculator: what you see in the input is what is used
for the calcul.
