Description

Describe the bug

The analyze function, change equation and remove equation options work only with touch/touchpad on hover. How have you totally forgotten about the touch implementation? All the apps thought to be used with any input have moved away from this show-on hover behavior, because it does not take into account touchscreen

Steps To Reproduce

Expected behavior

Make the three buttons always visible, instead of automatically hiding them

Start in the Graphic Calculator equation view and reproduce the issue on a touch-screen device: write an equation, then try the analyze, change equation, and remove equation actions. Done means all three buttons remain visible and usable without hover, while preserving the equation view behavior.
