Sebastien, this looks like upstream bug 7289233 (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728933), patched in https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-calculator/commit/?id=9ff8396ca73eaade391acc9eceacc1fcfe774cfc

Can we get this through as an SRU?

Does this happen with the version of the package in Trusty that is not in -proposed? If that is the case then the regression-proposed tag should be removed.

This doesn't happen with 1:3.10.2-0ubuntu1.2 in trusty-updates.

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728933 looks like the same bug, and the test case there also reproduces the issue.
