Description Emmanuel Pacaud 2004-12-22 14:36:02 UTC 
In french locale, where decimal separator is comma (,), user set margin values
are forgotten as soon printing setup dialog is closed.

It doesn't happen when locale is C.
Comment 1 Andreas J. Guelzow 2004-12-22 23:01:18 UTC 
It seems to me that the values are not forgotten but remembered in some modified
way...
Comment 2 Emmanuel Pacaud 2005-01-16 23:15:05 UTC 
How to replicate:

export LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
gnumeric
Fichier->Configuration de l'impression
Change Top margin to 10,0
Valider
Fichier->Configuration de l'impression

Top margin displays 0,35 now.

Comment 4 Jody Goldberg 2005-02-10 04:55:55 UTC 
The problem is that we are using g_ascii_strtod which explicitly ignores locale
to read values generated by printf.  When we read '2,0000 cm' it only reads '2'
then gets irrate when the unit is ',0000 cm'

Fixed in CVS
