windows: pasted numbers from calculator loose dchar

[Alexey Fedorov]

I use Windows 10.0.18363.628 Russian Edition (Cyrilic) and have issue with past numbers from clipboard. I use standard application Calc for operations with numbers, copy and then past in HomeBank. When my munber is, for instance, 100.34 after pasting in HomeBank it always 10034. Please fix it.

HomeBank 5.3.2 running against GTK+ 3.24.5

I changed my windows 1903 (18362.720) to cyrilic
launched a hb 5.3.2
and with that text, taken from the ticket: I do not reproduce.

what is the source of the text to be copied ?
can you send the text in a file that preserve source encoding ?
i suspect it is encoding related and the text in this ticket is sane.

[Alexey Fedorov (hubba900)]

The source is Calculator application (Calculator 10.1910.0.0).

1. I open Calculator application and put "1234,56" in calculator then copy it.
2. Open HomeBank -> open account -> add -> past "1234,56" from bufer and got "123456".

I do a lot of calculation in Calculator app and always correct pasted numbers.
It's lasts few years. Long time ago its works without issue.

ok, I will check.

It is probably related to #1826080 paste an amount with mixed dot & comma is misinterpreted of v5.2.5.

[Maxime DOYEN (mdoyen)]

It may a trailing space, I do reproduce with a space (or more than 2 char after the decimal char)
'1234,98 '

Alexey,

Could you confirm/test that you have a 'non digit' char somewhere ?

for that 2 option:
- copy a 'valid text' form a text editor (with and without a space tab at the end
- copy your text from the calculator to an editor where you can see whitespace (eof/lf/cr) like sublimetext (or most editors)
I want to be sure that this is the problem.

Maxime,

I couldn't confirm it.

Scenario 1:

1. I open Calculator and put "1111,1" to it.
2. I copy and paste "1111,1" from Calculator to HomeBank and got "11111".

Scenario 2:

1. I open Notepad++ and put "1111,1" to it.
2. I copy and paste "1111,1" from Notepad++ to HomeBank and got "11111".

When I copy "1111,1" from Calculator and past to Notepad++ (View -> Show Symbol -> Show All Characters) I see no spaces.

Hi Alezey,

Thanks for your time. I just did reproduced it.

There are some extra non digit char, as if I enter 1111,1 into the calculator and paste it to notepad, then save, and open that file with HxD, I get the following hexadecimal:

E2 80 AD 31 C2 A0 31 31 31 2C 31 E2 80 AC : ‭1 111,1‬

E2 80 AD = LEFT-TO-RIGHT OVERRIDE
C2 A0 = NO-BREAK SPACE
E2 80 AC = POP DIRECTIONAL FORMATTING

So a little pre-cleaning is mandatory before I try to guess what the decimal separator is.

for the record a bug report that mention it:

Hello Maxime,

If amount has more than 2 digits after dot - the issue appear again. For instance, 111.11 paste correctly from Calculator to HomeBank, 111.111 paste incorrectly from Calculator, but correclty from notepad.
