Calculator Functionality Change After Update

I've encountered an issue with the Calculator functionality following a recent update on macOS Sequoia 15.0.


Previously, when calculating percentages, the app would display the percentage value before showing the final result. However, after the update, it now skips directly to the final answer.


This change requires me to perform an additional step: subtracting the total from the dollar amount I'm calculating the percentage on.


Has anyone else experienced this change in behavior? If so, is there a way to revert to the previous functionality or a workaround to streamline the calculation process?


Thank you for your insights and assistance.

Hi,


Let's say the Initial amount: $831.26

and the Percentage increase is: 25%


Calculating before the update, It would show me the percentage increase before I hit the equal sign .

Example1 $831.26+25% (207.815) =1039.075


Calculating after the update

Example 2 $831.26+25%=1039.75

So now I have to subtract the "total" from the dollar amount to verify the percentage increase.

1039.075-831.26=207.815 (Extra Step)
