Dear Maintainer,

The history functionality, firstly, makes calculation results small and
cluttered, and is not desirable. The number of entries cannot be changed, the
history window cannot be resized, history cannot be disabled. This is a giving
the finger to anyone who doesn't agree with your preferences.

More importantly, the most recent result fails to show once the history window
fills - after a few calculations the user needs to manually scroll the history
window after each new operation to be able to view the result. This renders
usage hopelessly tedious.

Hello,

as I have tested on both trixie (version 1:48.1-2+b1) and unstable
(version 1:51~beta-1),
the described problem (the history not scrolling automatically) doesn't
happen.

For the features you requested, you probably should ask the upstream
maintainers/developers for that,
however before that check if those are not implemented in the newest
upstream version.

Thanks,
Dawid Kulas
