Great! My advice is you politely comment on it with your own experience or your insight into what the correct behaviour should be. This will not only give devs a measure of the importance of this bug, but will also keep you in the loop of the process of its resolution.

@Bro666

thanks for the good advice, looks like most important feedback has already been given so I'll pass

also the account creation disclaimer is scary

To create a KDE Bugtracking System account, all you need to do is to enter a legitimate email address. You will receive an email at this address to confirm the creation of your account. You will not be able to log in until you receive the email. I it doesn't arrive within a reasonable amount of time, you may contact the maintainer of this Bugzilla installation at sysadmin@kde.org. If you already have an account and want to change your email address, you can change it from the Preferences page after logging in. A user account is required to report new bugs or to comment into existing ones, as you may be contacted for more information if needed. This also lets other users clearly identify who is the author of comments or changes made into bugs. Note that your email address will never be displayed to logged out users. Only registered users will be able to see it. PRIVACY NOTICE: KDE Bugtracking System is an open bug tracking system. Activity on most bugs, including email addresses, will be visible to registered users. We recommend using a secondary account or free web email service (such as Gmal, Yahoo, Hotmail or similar) to avoid receiving spam at your primary email address.

    The risk is low. Your email address is not visible by the general public. A spammer would have to go through a manual registration process to see it. Sounds like a lot of work for a small niche number of email addresses.

    Either way, when in doubt, do as suggested: use your spam-catching email address.

    Try Qalculate, it is extremely powerful and better that anything else imo

    Another case of abusing the word "enshitification"

    @kde solved by running "sudo downgrade kcalc" and selecting the latest 22.x version and adding kcalc to IgnorePkg

    yes it's brutal, but breaking a11y support is worse

    What did you do to get this "Input Error"?

    If that breaks a calculator, then it is indeed crap. Holy Moly.

    Edit: I just tried this, works fine on KCalk 23.08.5

    @Treczoks

    my version is kcalc 24.05.0

    I can confirm this breaks on v24.05.0

    probably a bug

    I'm a bit surprised something like this wasn't caught by tests
