It works for me...
1. Hit the Sqrt key, I see Sqrt(
2. I type in:  123/3)
3. I now see:  Sqrt(123/3)
4. I hit enter
5. I now see:  6.403124237

I only see a malformed expression warning if I do not type in the
closing parenthesis.  i.e. Trying to evaluate:  Sqrt(123/3

You have to enter the calculation properly.  If you then type in the
closing parenthesis, and hit enter, it works.

NB:  You can use the equals key on the program, the keyboard, or the
enter key, to do the same function (work out the anwser)
