Description Paolo Benvenuto 2005-06-21 17:40:36 UTC 
Version details: 1.8.10
Distribution/Version: debian

If you type a value, say "1" in the money field of a txn, and the char ç or Ç
follos the numbers, a very big number appears in the field when saving the txn
or moving to another field:

1ç -> -31.873.569.403.954.887,28
1Ç -> 82.157.921.267.628.690,24
Comment 1 Paolo Benvenuto 2005-06-21 17:41:51 UTC 
the fact is important for me becaus in my keyboard the ç is in a "dangerous"
position, i.e., it's easy for me to press it inadvertently
Comment 2 Christian Stimming 2006-02-22 16:02:18 UTC 
Development on 1.8.x has stopped now, so we won't fix anything there. Does this problem still occur in 1.9.x/SVN? I'd guess it doesn't but that needs to be verified.
Comment 3 Chris Shoemaker 2006-03-27 20:01:01 UTC 
Yes, this bug still exists in 1.9.3.  However, it's quite a bit more general than the original report.  Any trailing letters at all will yield random numbers.  This is closely related to bug#334811 but we don't seem to have any failing test cases written for this one yet.
Comment 4 Josh Sled 2006-03-30 19:49:17 UTC 
Fixed in r13715 (1.9.4): the expression parser no longer allows "1 ç" as an expression.
