 Any number with 20 or more digits will be hidden without manually using
 the cursor to click-select-scroll to view the lesser significant digits.

 A couple of possible solutions might include:

 - Representing the number in scientific notation after it reaches 15 or so
 digits.

 - dynamically reducing the font size so more digits can fit in the text
 box

 - Allowing the calculator window to be expanded wider than it is now
