Summary: undefined: Numeric dot should turn into a comma only
in a numeric context in French
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.3.2 release
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Status Whiteboard: BSA
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Libreoffice
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Problem description: French (and other non anglo-saxon languages) uses comma as
decimal separator. Hence, the numeric dot on the keyboard was changed to output
a comma everytime.
Considering the stupid placement of the dot punctuation in the French keyboard
(shift + ;), a lot of people actually use the more accessible numeric pad dot
as the punctuation dot, and end up writing commas mistakingly.
This key is represented as a dot and writes a dot in every other non-office
programs, the user would then expect to write a dot with it, unless in numeric
context.
Current behavior:
In French LO, the numeric pad dot writes a comma in every context.
Expected behavior:
I propose that this dot should turn into a comma only when the context is
numeric, i.e. when the dot/comma is directly followed by a digit.
