That's what happened when I simply resized stock xcalc several times in a row to different sizes and aspect ratios. I wonder if they've finally figured out how to fix that bug in 35 years?
That was why I was compelled to hack an X11 window manager to take a command line argument telling it which window id to treat as the root window, then ran xcalc, discovered its window id with "xwininfo" or some such utility, then ran the window manager on the calculator, putting window frames around each of the calculator's buttons, so you could resize them, move them around, open and close them to icons, etc! That was a truly customizable calculator.
