Description Egmont Koblinger 2003-09-22 14:33:02 UTC 
The symbol KP_Separator doesn't do anything in most of the gtk2
applications. According to the comments to bug #105161, it should
insert a comma. (I've checked that patch from CVS but it doesn't solve
the problem.) Actually, it works if I choose X Input Method.

Attached trivial patch works for me.

Comment 2 Jani Alinikula 2003-10-11 08:04:40 UTC 
I can confirm this. This is a real usability issue with spreadsheets. 

gtk+ 2.2.4 built with Garnome 0.27.1 (Gnome 2.4)
RedHat 9
XFree86 Version 4.3.0 (Red Hat Linux release: 4.3.0-2)
LANG=en_US
LC_NUMERIC=fi_FI.utf8@euro

So the keypad comma generates KP_Separator, and if gtk doesn't map it
to comma, it's a PIA to enter numbers. The above patch fixes this
problem for all gnome applications and OpenOffice too. I would very
much like to see this fix in the 2.4 releases.

Looks good for gtk-2-2 and HEAD.
Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2003-11-12 19:56:14 UTC 
Committed to both branches.
