Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gcalctool

I'm feeling slightly apprehensive about reporting this, as it seems so
obvious yet doesn't seem to have been noticed.  But then, I never
noticed it before either.

"Clear Entry" seems to perform exactly the same as "Clear."  gcalctool
doesn't perform partial calculations in any mode any more, so the
tooltip explanations don't help.  Also, the explanation in the help file
is certainly wrong.  Finally, "Clear" doesn't seem to affect any
registers or anything, so as far as I can tell, the two do exactly the
same thing: Clear the display.

Even assuming something is different at some level, the help file is
definitely wrong, as the example is impossible.

** Affects: gcalctool (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Untriaged
         Status: Unconfirmed
