This is simplicity in design and fuction at it's best. Once all of the kninks are out, we will have arrived at the true meaning of a widget, something you need to pop over the screen, to perform some simple function on the browser data, hopefuly without having to re-key it.
the decimal point "." turns up to be comma "," which is a bit annoying. If that can be rectify, it will be near perfect to replace the default windows calculator.
there are some errors with handling negative numbers. any word on whether or not it will be inproved? I see it was updated on June 20, so maybe it will.
Beautiful looking calculator with equally pleasing skins.
Only complain is that the choosed skin doesnt save after re-opening the widget. For ex, I choose red theme(awesome!), close the widget, open it again and its back to the default black shiny skin.
I choose one skin, but the next time I open the calculator it doesn't appear. Is possible to save the skin I want during sessions of the opera browser?
In addition, I don't know what's the matter with the minus sign, because sometimes it appears double, and when I write '-' directly from the keyboard it doesn't appears at all.
This calculator does not work properly. It misses inputed numbers and freezes. Totally unusable for anything other than simple addition of two numbers. I am running a high end machine so I know the problem is not on my end.
The widget is diabolical! It is a nice looking thing but not a calculator at all. I tried to calculate 10 - 2 x sqrt(5) 10 - 2 x ........... gives eight! Well, it is a SIMPLE calculator. Let's try sqrt(5) ....... it works x +/- 2 = ............. gives -2 = again ................. gives -4.7... which is correct + 10 .................... gives 14.7
Well, I tried a simple one: -2 + 5 = ................ -25
So once you enter a negative number, you cannot enter any operation and regardless to what you press, you are entering new digits of the negative number.
So far I liked Opera, but in case Opera Software is able produce and publish such a ... well, neve mind. Author of this widget should be fired or paid as a comedy writer but not as a programmer any more.

I'm tempted to make a better one myself.

Hope this will be improved?

Is there a fix for this?

It gets kinda confusing for 90 divided by 100
and get 0 ,9
It's easier to understand if it is just .9 or 0.9

This widget uses a keyup event, that *might* explain the loss of a digit/operator when typing fast.
I've tried the calculations reported by marek.roesel. They work with the v1.0.1
