gcalctool doesn't accept the numeric keypad "coma"
Last modified: 2010-12-21 03:45:39 UTC
I was ussing the gcalc as ussually and it doesn't accept the "coma" between the "0" and "Enter" in the numeric keypad of the keyboard. I've upgraded to U10.10 few days ago and before that I haven't this issue. Thanx for your help in fixing it.

i can confirm the "comma" issue. my finding is that while my desktops locale is set to German, my keyboard has an US Intl. layout and is set accordingly. there actually a dot is typed instead of the comma. i think the problem lies there...
i've tried that but it doesn't work. My keyboard works perfectly with other applications so maybe its other kind of problem. when I type the comma in the keypad it doesn't work. Nothing happened. Thanx for your help...
I can confirm this bug. The thing is many times the current locale's decimal separator is not the actual character that gets typed when you press the "decimal separator" key in the numeric keypad. For example I have a spanish keyboard and that key has the dot (.), but I'm using the es-AR locale and the decimal separator is the comma (,). So when I type "." from the numeric keypad the calc should type "," as that is my current locale's decimal separator. Just make it behave like openoffice calc.
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.
