Microsoft Windows Graphing Calculator "The equation is empty" error

Open onu032001 opened this issue 1 month ago • 0 comments

Sorry for duplicates but this Microsoft Windows Graphing Calculator produces errors.


Describe the bug

  • My Microsoft Windows Graphing Calculator reports "The equation is empty" error when I enter the expression that has more than 66 bytes of UnicodeMath in the expression input. See #2331 (Error happens if the equation or the expression has more than 66 bytes of UnicodeMath in Windows Graphing Calculator)
  • It also reports "The equation is empty" error when I enter the expression when my laptop is not processing the Microsoft Windows Graphing Calculator as well.
  • It noticeably freezes for 10 to 15 seconds if I press the Enter key again if it displays "The equation is empty" error. See #2274 (Graphing calculator cannot process primitive function? Seriously?)

Steps To Reproduce

  • Bug 1: Microsoft Windows Graphing Calculator reports "The equation is empty" error if the equation or the expression has more than 66 bytes of UnicodeMath
    1. Enter long equation like $y = \left( x + \frac{1}{x} +\sqrt{x} \right) \left( x + \frac{1}{x} +\sqrt{x} \right) \left( x + \frac{1}{x} +\sqrt{x} \right) \left( x + \frac{1}{x} +\sqrt{x} \right) \left( x + \frac{1}{x} +\sqrt{x} \right)$
    2. Hit Enter
    3. See error, "The equation is empty".
  • Bug 2: Microsoft Windows Graphing Calculator reports "The equation is empty" error if the device is not processing it
    1. Wait for the device to not process Microsoft Windows Graphing Calculator
    2. Type any equation
    3. See error, "The equation is empty".

Expected behavior

Draws a graph.
