Painfully relatable :). In a similar vein, Google's Calculator app for Android and ChromeOS doesn't allow you to input parentheses (there's no button for it, despite there being three "pages" of buttons, and it mysteriously does not allow you to paste them into the input field).



I just checked the calculator app on my android and there definitely is a parenthesis button. On Android 10


Oh yes, that's the other Android calculator. The one in which you can't arbitrarily edit the input field, only backspace from the right. Especially frustrating when modifying expression with parentheses.


Really? I can move the cursor around the input field just fine and backspace from there


Huh? How many system calculators does Android have at this point??


On mine there's a single button for both parentheses, which you have to hope knows which one you want. 99% of the time it works right.
