I can confirm this bug in OpenOffice.org Calc and Gnucash. The following workaround from Olivier Mengué works like a charm : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config/+bug/188342/comments/2
I don't know if the workaround from Colin Watson works or not... But in Gnucash, numpad '.' doesn't work at all either with "French alternative" or "French" layout. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnucash/+bug/157968 It is a really annoying bug. It should work out of the box since this kind of thing drives users away instantly. And yes indeed, "French uses a comma as decimal separator, but keyboards are labeled with a period". Neverless all french users expect that their numpad '.' gives a comma. And that's what happens in the "Windows" world. So give it to us, please ;-) -- keymap fr: numpad '.' mapped to period instead of KP_Decimal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188342 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
