This issue is not the same as
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=31663.
The problem is not in the default number formatting. The problem does not
concern numeric keypad (issue 1820). The problem is in difference between OO
decimal separator and Windows decimal separator.
There is clearly a misunderstanding of the problem. The problem is not in the
usage of the dot as the decimal separator while typing it at the numeric pad by
interpreting the dot into comma. The problem is to *use* dot at the decimal
separator in OO. To type 1.2 in a spreadsheet and to *see* it there as 1.2. Not
1,2. And to have OO understood it as a number, not text.
I'd try to explain it.
1. I have dot as Windows decimal separator (the majority of Russian Windows
users have the same and have the same problem with OO).
2. If I have Russian locale settings in OO it uses *comma* as *its* decimal
separator regardless system settings and the known check box. The only job the
check box does is to interpreter or not the dot from the numeric keypad
_into_its_own_COMMA_. And all the other Windows programs provide and require dot
as the decimal separator. This makes common usage of OO with correct locale (Ru)
and other data manipulation programs almost impossible.
3. The result Russian users need is: 0. to have Russian locale set. 1. to type
1.1 at the main keyboard. 2. To see 1.1 in OO. 3. To have OO understood it as a
number.
