Solve app bug report - roadrunner - 03-16-2022 11:40 AM
The solve app does strainge things when there are more than 12 variables.
This is on the emulator, 2.1.14592
Windows 10 version 1909
Here is an example:
Reset the Solve App, then tap Start;
Press escape, then go to the home environment;
Copy and paste each of the 6 lines below into the home command line, press enter after each line:
'A=B+C+D'▶E1;
'B=C+D+E'▶E2;
'C=D+E+F'▶E3;
'D=E+F+G+H+I+J+K+L+M'▶E4;
0▶A▶B▶C▶D▶I▶J▶K▶L▶M;
1▶E▶F▶G▶H;
Go to Symbolic view and check E1 thru E4;
Go to Number view, check A thru D, uncheck E thru M (M is located on the second page)
Tap Solve.
M mysteriously checks itself and is solved for. Go back to page one and A is mysteriously unchecked.
Check A, uncheck M, tap solve; and it repeats.
The Solve app when equations have more than 12 variables does other weird things as well. See this thread for another example:

Thanks for posting. I managed to reproduce the problem here by following your nicely detailed instructions. So I filed a bug report for this on the bug tracking site I’ve set up. … and the bug got fixed!
(If anyone reading this would like an account on the bug tracker I’ve set up to help organize matters, just let me know by PM.)
