On application startup, DM42 automatically loads the last saved state file, so in a sense Ben is right that DM42 does the same, it's merely masked by the fact that the state file is loaded before the user sees the UI. It's certainly not required, but the C43 team could consider doing the same thing, as the last saved state is likely more useful than a blank state.
This is definitely something we could do and it is worth considering.

Great idea, thank you.

Here's another one for you, this time with the AGM function.

AGM (2-4i , -3+i) should be approx. -1.343237283 . -i2.145601169
Pls. check this example from WolframAlpha:
https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?key= ... +-3%2Bi%29

the WP43 emulator yields the wrong result, if I haven't made an input error it returns:

1.62951378 - i 0.10348788

Cheers,

Gracias! Confirmed on the pilot WP43. Actually forwarded to software department on 22-11-18 already. 8-)

I found a bug.

- Enter Program Mode
- STO . A
-> Segfault

Tested on WP43 simulator, commit 713fa77d539995cf891c465d6902fd0c5ce2b61a (current master) and on physical C43 with version 108_08c.

Let me know if you need more information.

Thanks for reporting! Confirmed on WP43 pilot. We'll look into it.

Just for curiosity: why did you enter [.] [A] ? Stack register A can be reached by [A] alone...

I was copying a program over from my 41 and pressed the [.] out of habit, I think.

I do not know if this has already been reported:
switching the WP43 off (g, EXIT) displays mostly an inverted OFFIMG, e.g. very low contrast.
edit: do you need a photo?

Not observed here. A photo would help certainly. Thanks in advance.
