Description jose lucero 2005-11-12 02:04:00 UTC 
Distribution/Version: gentoo

When entering numbers with numpad in a local setup with "," as decimal separator
the numpad keeps writing a period. This makes the numpad pretty much useless
when using gnumeric.
The correct way would be for the numpad period to be interpreted as a comma when
that is the locale's decimal separator.

Excel works perfectly on this aspect, openoffice has also fixed this issue,
kspread has it half solved (works on stand alone numbers but not in formulas)
Comment 1 Jean Bréfort 2005-11-12 07:05:29 UTC 
I'd also like this feature, but I do not feel it is critical.
Comment 2 jose lucero 2005-11-12 12:52:58 UTC 
I think a spreadsheet where i cant use the numpad keys is useless for any 
serious use, Unless one uses it to enter text only or text and integer, which 
would be a very uncommon use for a spreadsheet. 
this is the main reason i am not using gnumeric.

Unrelatedly, "critical" does not mean "this problem happens to me".
"People are losing data left and right" is more like it.
