Bug Description

A frequent user of the app did not discover how to delete entries from the calculation history and so had a large history. This reportedly caused a noticeable slowdown when the app was launched.

Also suggested that a clear all history option would aid usability.

Hello Pat.

Just long press on calculation history and select all calulation.
After that you could easily remove whole calculation history.

Please let me know if it is helps.
How many calculations do you have?

You could also swipe left calculation from history to delete only one calculation.

I've found that if there are a lot of calculations in the applications's history. The application's performance is reduced.
Until I individually removed the calculation history, opening the app took a few minutes to load.
Ideally a one button 'clear all' history would be preferred.

Adding ubuntu-ux team, to investigate possibility of adding "Clear all" button.
