The two are not identical. That one behaves differently from the other should come as no surprise. The binaries are for different architectures.

Quote:Also, note that in the last step 12, selecting cell M1 and then <shift> Copy does not crash the calculator and the operation does work.

If you notice, though, the column names are lower-cases for g, m, l, and z because M1 -- the cell -- would conflict with the built-in matrix name M1 (similarly for G0-G9 the graphics objects, L0-L9 for lists, and Z0-Z9 for complex numbers). So the hunch is that there is probably some code in the firmware that did not get updated to account for this workaround. But like I said, it was a guess -- nothing more. That you can copy a single cell (M1) is not too strange because it may be using a different internal call to copy a single cell.

There is another quirk:

Enter into any cell =A1 and you don't see a zero, unlike the other cases. However, if you enter =A1*1 then you get 0.
