Numeric keypad dot does not work in locales that don't use dot for a thousands separator

[Josepa]

Binary package hint: gcalctool

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.

Thank you for forwarding upstream.

[exactt (giesbert)]

as i stated in an upstream comment this might be related to locale/keyboard layout settings...

[Josepa (josepablo)]

great! Thanx!!

[AndreK (andre-k)]

should it be fixed now ? - mine, 5.32.0 in Ubuntu 10.10 still does not accept comma , but expects "." .
English ubuntu, with "English(Danish)" locale settings.
- just because English(Norwegian) does not exist.

[Marcel Stimberg (marcelstimberg)]

@AndreK: "Fix Released" means it is fixed in the *current development release*, i.e. in Natty[1]. If you need it fixed in Maverick, you have to inititiate the SRU process[2].
