GNOME Calculator starts up but does not respond to keystrokes.  The
desktop notices that the application is unresponsive and offers the
choice between force-quit and wait.  Waiting does not seem to do
anything.

Here's what I have on the console:

<snip>

A fix for this libsoup3 issue has been approved by the stable release
managers and should be included in the Debian 12.12 point release, which
is planned for 6th September. The same issue was also already fixed in
the Debian 13.0 stable release.

This is a libsoup3 bug, not a gnome-calculator bug (even though the
symptom appears in gnome-calculator), so gnome-calculator will not be
changed for this.

As noted in several of the many duplicate bug reports, a workaround is
to run this command

     gsettings set org.gnome.calculator refresh-interval 0

which turns off download of currency exchange rates.

Its definitely good to keep this report active under gnome-calculator,
since the depency to libsoup3 is untracable for an ordinary user.

However, I'm looking for advice if there are any actions required for
users who *do* have implemented the workaround to fix the problem and
then later upgraded to one of the Debian versions that have this
(secondary) bug fixed.

Since you mentioned that that above mentioned workaround effectively
disables the automatic currency exchange rate downloads, what would be
the measure to restore the intended default behaviour of gome-calculator
to automatically fetch the current currency exchange rates?

E.g. I suffered the bug, implemented the workaround and then upgrading
to Debian 12.12 or 13.0. What to do to restore original behaviour?

Thanks

You can undo the effect of

     gsettings set org.gnome.calculator refresh-interval 0

with

     gsettings reset org.gnome.calculator refresh-interval

which will reset that setting to its default value, so that it will
automatically follow the default if the default changes.

Or use menu → Preferences → Exchange Rate Refresh Interval in the app,
and set it according to your preference.

The only reason for the workaround to be specified as a gsettings
command to run, rather than something to do in the app, is that you can't
do anything in the app if it has already frozen.
