Public bug reported:

I am having totally confused calculator (Applications --> Accessories
--> Calculator) buttons.

If I look at the right column of buttons (in "basic" view):
    * The second from the top shows the subtract sign (-) but when I hover over the button it indicates Divide and when I click it it actually gives the divide sign (/)
    * The third from the top shows the double quotes (") but when I hover over the button it indicates Multiply and when I click it it actually gives the multiply sign (*)
    * The fourth from the top shows the multiply sign (x) but when I hover over the button it indicates Subtract and when I click it it actually gives the subtract sign (-).
So the only correct buttons in the right column are the top one (Change sign) and the bottom one (Add).

This applies btw for every view of the calculator but found this view
the easiest to explain.

I am running Edgy Eft (6.10) on a Dell Latitude D620.
