Indeed, I already reported that this was a bit chaotic.
First note that the base won't be the same in between standard and CAS operations.

In Home mode:
Base will work providing that Ans is a #base value.
It is even a pain because you cannot enter any further #value until Ans is cleared.
Example:
1. Shift Clear
2. Enter #11b (Shift - 1 1 Shit Alpha Toolbox)
3. Enter
4. Press Shift - again and the base screen will popup

Problem is that if you now want to enter another value you can't because you will keep calling the same popup until you actually clear Ans

In CAS mode:
In CAS, the use of base seems very limited. I don't even understand why there is a default integer format. When I enter #10 with default being Hex, it doesn't translate to 16 so this doesn't work. Anything I enter is immediately translated in base 10 and that is all.

In conclusion, the base feature is pretty unpractical and I really don't understand how one is supposed to do arithmetic with different bases.
