If I press the calculator button in my keyboard, the gnome calculator app doesn't appear. I have double checked that the shortcut is ok in the settings app keyboard bindings config pane.

          I found that installing the calculator app via apt instead of snap (the default in 18.04) fixed this issue:



          sudo snap remove gnome-calculator
          sudo apt install gnome-calculator


          This has the added benefit of making the calculator launch instantaneously again.

            Great! It also solved the complete transparency window by having enabled Communitheme!
