Simulator not working

[compsystems]

The simulator does not work, many times it hangs in the sense that some keys stay pressed and the emulator does not respond, this has been reported many times and HP has ignored it.

Trying to write this expression crashes the emulator, I hope you can reproduce the bug.


74_deg + 42_mn*(1_deg/60_mn) + 15_s *(1_deg/3600_s) [Enter]


you can see that the SPACE and DOT keys are stuck, also the ALPHA key is not responding, please try to reproduce the error.

thank you

This works fine for me in both the emulator and on the physical calc and I get the expected 74°42'15"

You do know you can't put 42' - that will be a syntax error, you have to put 0°42', same with your 3600s - that has to be 0°0'3600"

Never seen your stuck keys issue on Mac or Win

On the physical calculator it works fine

You must be in CAS mode and in the simulator, and the expression must be typed from the PC keyboard.

74_deg + 42_mn*(1_deg/60_mn) + 15_s *(1_deg/3600_s) [enter] 74.7041666667_deg

The problem persists (Software Build Date: 2024-12-04, Software Revision: 15212) when entering the above expression from the keyboard, please check with your PC keyboards

What you are saying is odd because the keys DOT and ALPHA are not involved in entering this equation. I tried to reproduce this several times, but I never succeeded. The result is correct and none of the keys are stuck.

Please let me know which entry mode your Virtual Calculator is set to, Textbook or Algebraic, as this may be relevant (though I have already checked both with no success). To diagnose the problem, ensure everything functions correctly when you initially start entering the equation, then continue and observe at which point the keys get stuck on your side. If you are able to reproduce this issue multiple times in Virtual Calculator, then you can surely determine the moment when the keys get stuck.

Hi, I have restarted the emulator and have not changed any settings.

When I press the following pc key combination [Shift right ] (hold) + [_] the [Spc/_] key on the emulator stays pressed.

* my keyboard is in spanish hp-pavilion-laptop-pc-15-eg0000

Before posting I found the cause of the problem, the right Shift key on my keyboard is labeled PAUSE, typing with the left [Shift] key does not cause the problem, somehow the PAUSE function of the right Shift key is holding the simulator keyboard.

Hello, I connect an external keyboard and the problem persists, when placing the _ symbol using the key combinations [right shift] + [_], I use windows 10
