GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 127205
Cannot select two cells as arguments with the mouse

The proble described here does not exist in C locale but my locale is fr_FR. I tried to use functions using several arguments, each one being the content of a cell or a range of cells. For example, with the bessely function, I type: =bessely( then click on the cell containing the first argument and type a semicolon (the separator in french locale), I obtain: =bessely(A1; if I click on the second cell, I get the message: Could not find matching closing parenthesis If instead of using a semicolon, I use a comma, Things work, but I obtain: Invalid expression If I use a function with a variable number of arguments such as average, the semicolon is just replaced by a closing parenthesis and the cell where I clicked is selected.
This has been there a long time. Its sad that no one has reported it before. Thanks. Fixed in cvs. Patch will be in 1.2.2
