Bug Description
I noted this issue in quantal, in lucid it previously work perfect. I am spanish with a spanish keyboard layout and spanish locale. When I try to make some simply maths like:
5 * 1,05 it works, because in my spanish locale, the decimal numers are noted with comma and thousand with dot. For example: 100.000,99
But sometimes you want use dot for decimal like:
5 * 1.05 that it is not valid in my locale, but spanish people often use english notation for decimals. Then the character is not written and in console appears this error:
(gcalctool:31135): Gtk-WARNING **: Invalid text buffer iterator: either the iterator is uninitialized, or the characters/
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
My locale output:
