Output window doesn't always scroll down, sometimes have to resize because no scrollbar

[Former user]

I'm using version 0.10.1 from the Linux Mint repository (and would prefer to not have to manually install another version).

When I'm performing calculations the answer often goes off the window and SpeedCrunch neither scrolls down to take me to the answer nor provides a scrollbar. I often have to resize and/or move the window. Please fix, I use this a lot! Much thanks, otherwise very good calc!

I'm afraid we won't make any fixes to versions prior to current 0.12. @fk Shouldn't Linux Mint have access to 0.12 or at least 0.11 by now?

@Anonymous It does provide a scollbar. You need to move the mouse cursor to the edge of the results screen. You can also use the mouse wheel, or even the keyboard Page Up/Down shortcuts.

Ubuntu 16.04 -- the latest LTS, if only for another month or so -- only has 0.10, so any Linux Mint based on that will also only have 0.10.

Even if such an updated 0.10 release existed, it wouldn't appear in the Linux Mint repositories. With Ubuntu at least, the contents of universe (which is where Speedcrunch lives in Ubuntu) are just copied wholesale from Debian. There's no one in charge of updating Speedcrunch in Ubuntu; I'm not even aware of a process to do so. I'm not familiar with their process, but I wager Linux Mint works the same.

TLDR -- if you install Speedcrunch from the Ubuntu repositories (or anything derived from that), you're not getting any updates outside of full OS updates. That's just how it is.
