Description Dario Panico 2008-06-23 16:09:12 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

The problem was discussed before:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67984
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98455

But there it was all about kcalc and kspread: it would be nice if KP_Decimal could follow locale settings in every app as konqueror (it could be useful in google calculator), kate, kwrite. Everywhere you could type numbers it could be great to use only the keypad, i think this issue should be corrected globally, in kde or kdelibs not only in a few apps.

P.S. My locale is IT but the problem is noticed in DE, ES and i think other european languages.

the bug is present in kdelibs 4.1
Comment 2 John Layt 2010-08-07 19:50:37 UTC
So the problem is that when you press the decimal separator button on the numeric keypad your keymap sends a "." to the app, rather than the "," that the app's locale was expecting?  And the fix would be for the keypad to always return the decimal separator defined in the locale for the app that currently has the keyboard focus?

The problem with that is I don't see how the keyboard handler can know what locale each app is currently using, it can only know the global locale at the time the handler started, which will be right in most cases but wrong in some.

I guess there could be an option in the keyboard kcm to toggle this on/off.

Not sure what Product/Component this really belongs under.
