paste an amount with mixed dot & comma is misinterpreted

[Mark A. Dyer]

I copied data from my credit union to set up my accounts for the first time. In each case, the number was misinterpreted. As I stated in my example: If I copy "$1,234.56" from the credit union's web site and try to paste it into HomeBank, the number converts to "$1.234.56". After I click close, it shows as $1.23". This is not an auspicious beginning.

Well, HomeBank exist for decade and... No one just done this original thing, nor reported this. Usually I do think they input numbers by typing, which is faster, or use the import features.
Thanks for reporting anyway, I will have a look.

 ?????? ?????? I am a retired computer scientist and I have to tell you ... we
once found an error in an input method that had existed for over 30
years. As for doing original things: Idiot proof systems are impossible.
I am, like many others, VERY TALENTED at being an idiot (or so says my
wife at least).

Maxime:

     Privately, please be aware that in English, the word is spelled
"misinterpreted", not "missinterpreted".

     I am unsure what your native language is and possibly
"missinterpreted" is closer to your native language spelling. I do not
wish you to be unaware. I assume you wish to be as accurate as possible.

     Thank you for incorporating this change into the code base.
