Very frustrating to use for fast typers

As a Tweetbot fan, I was excited to see this app and bought it sight-unseen for my calculating needs. For the most part, it’s a solid app, but it has one fatal flaw for fast typers: if you release Shift before you release a shifted key, it doesn’t register.

This is a huge deal because when I’m typing quickly, I usually do this. No other application I’ve ever used has an issue with it—only Calcbot. Keys I can’t enter reliably include parenthesis, the plus sign, and the multiplication symbol.

I have to slow way, way down when using Calcbot—to the point it’s not very useful and degrades from a top-quality app to a highly frustrating one. I hope an update will fix this issue. I’ve reported it via email support and on Twitter, but have yet to hear anything besides “we’ll look into it”. Here’s hoping for a fix.
