Works for me. This might be locale specific. What locale do you use? To find this out, please post the output of "locale".

Thanks

[Oleksij Rempel (olerem)]

This working just fine:
LC_ALL="us_EN.UTF-8" gcalctool

I use:

locale
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"

LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8"

I am affected by the missing comma problem. I am running gcalctool 6.4.1.1 (as reported with gcalctool --version) and 6.4.1.1-0ubuntu3 (as reported by dpkg-query -l gcalctool) on Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS which is up to date as of today.

When I run gcalctool from a terminal, it outputs the following at exactly the time it should be outputting a comma (e.g. i type in 1000 into the gcalctool):

(gcalctool:8733): Gtk-WARNING **: Invalid text buffer iterator: either the iterator is uninitialized, or the characters/pixbufs/widgets in the buffer have been modified since the iterator was created. You must use marks, character numbers, or line numbers to preserve a position across buffer modifications. You can apply tags and insert marks without invalidating your iterators, but any mutation that affects 'indexable' buffer contents (contents that can be referred to by character offset) will invalidate all outstanding iterators

I am using English, but there may be something set for NZ somewhere hidden. When I examine my environment, there are no LC variables set:

     $ env | grep LC

when i run gcalctool as follows it displays a comma, yet still outputs the same Gtk-WARNING as above:

     LC_ALL=en_NZ.UTF-8 gcalctool
