Previously when using the Calculator on iOS, I could
perform minus and  plus calculations without using
the = button.  A [running total] would  display after
each +/- use.

2365.23 + 1254.58 + [3619.81] 235.96 - [3855.77]
1479.99 = 2375.78
Now I must use the = button after every calculation
to see the [running  total].  It's hard to keep a
checkbook register correct if you can't  see the
running total.  Hitting the = button after every
number is  cumbersome when you're running through
several pages.  The calculators  on my desktop
computer and on the internet work as expected.  Does
anyone else see this?  I looked for any options on
the application  itself and in Settings to change
this but to no avail.

Notice the <backspace> symbol.

That's the clear key. True you have to hit backspace as
many times as  you typed characters.

What you describe with the link is not the issue I’m
having. I upgraded to  18.3 last night and the behavior
continues. And there is still no C button.

What your screenshot shows is the view while typing a sum. The
backspace key allows you to correct typos. If you press and
hold the backspace button it clears the screen.

I was unaware you had to HOLD the backspace button for the
screen to clear.  That makes it a little better.

However the original problem still remains.  I cannot get a
running total just by pressing the + or - button.  I must use
the = button to see the total of the running calculation.  This
is different behavior than the previous calculator, which even
had a log available to see previous calculations.  As I said, i
primarily use the calculator to keep my checkbook register
accurate and having to use the = button after each number is
cumbersome, especially when all other calculators work as
expected.

As I said, not getting a running total was a bug that got fixed in
18.3.

So now you're lying about having installed 18.3 or lying about
still having the bug.

There is no running total.  The calculations only show up at the
very end when pressing the = button.

Interesting that you presented it as two separate elements, rather
than a video that went straight from the "Up to date" screen to the
Calculator, huh?
