Description Wojciech Ryrych 2010-08-28 22:23:51 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.0) 
OS:                Linux

KRunner requires from me to use dot for decimal point in mathematical operations but displays result with comma point (in fractions).
I think the problem is with localization. In Poland decimal point is comma so result is displayed correctly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Alt + F2
2. type =0.1+0.1

Actual Results:  
0,1 (comma point)

Expected Results:  
you should be able to type =0,1+0,1 and decimal point as dot should not be allowed

I think also other countries use comma decimal point. Calculator plugin for KRunner should respect global localization rules.

The problem isn't in the calculator runner, because that correctly handles conversion from/to locale character.

But it is the ";" handling that allows multiple expressions to be entered, and this incorrectly allows the "," character.

So it won't be fixed?

this works for me

As it appears to me the problem is the qalculate engine _not_ correctly handling a different set of decimal symbols.

If I also replace the decimal symbol with "." when using the qalculate engine it works perfectly for me.

Kcalc handels this correctly. May be this could help.
