Description Andreas J. Guelzow 2007-03-05 18:43:08 UTC 
When entering 1.12 (note the decimal period) in german locale (that uses a deciaml comma) should enter the string 1.12 (as it did in 1.6.3). In current svn it seems to enter the integer value 112
Comment 1 Morten Welinder 2007-03-05 19:27:40 UTC 
Maybe.

What we do is to ignore the thousands separator on numeric entry, as well
as a lot of other junk that people routinely put in numbers.  A quick test
with the competition seems to suggest that they only ignore the thousands
separator when three or more digits follow.

We can certainly do that if that is expected to have a lower "surprise"
coefficient.

three digits is it.  try that.

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
