Description Malte Starostik 2003-11-12 11:10:30 UTC

Version:           1.3.999 (using KDE 3.1.93 (CVS >= 20031028), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.2 20031022 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.2-r2, propolice)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-gentoo-r7

Using a German keyboard layout, kcalc fails to accept the num pad's decimal point -which is a comma in German- as such. You always have to relocate your fingers to the main keyboard and type a dot :-(
[wishlist:] Similarly, the display should be changed to use the decimal separator configured in kdeglobals instead of a hard-coded dot.
Thanks,
Malte

Using the comma seems to work with the current version of Kcalc (and also with the KDE-3.2 version). Does it for you?

If not tell me, otherwise I will close this bug.

It works with a twist...

Entering "1,5" with numerical keyboard gives "1,05"!
Doing the same with ordinary keyboard works.

The numerical keyboard ',' does always give an additional
zero! Using numerical keyboard to enter "1,2,3,4,5" gives
"1.02030405"

This behavior was non-existant in the KDE 3.2.3 version. It has lewad to some Accounting problems I've run into. I'd greatly appreciate if this could be fixed before beta2

Sorry that I did not take care before. I was away, and really busy.

I can not reproduce your bug, but there were some problems before with the
numpad. Are you using the CVS-version?

Could you help me? Download the source and comment out in the file
"kcalc.cpp" in the function "KCalculator::keyPressEvent"
the part

    if (e->state() & Keypad && ( e->key() != Key_Period ))
    {
        NumButtonGroup->find(e->text().toInt())->animateClick();
    }

Does something change?


Sorry that I ask you to go through all this troubles, but on my system the
numpad works.

Cheers

        Klaus

I hope the last patch fixes this bug for everyone.
