When entering decimal numbers using keyboard keypad, the decimal separator key is always entered as '.' (dot) even when regional settings are set to use decimal separator to ',' (comma). This happens on several languages like Italian, German, etc. This only happens when using a Wayland desktop session. Using the same settings (plasma regional settings, keyboard map) running in a X11 desktop session works as expected. I've tested the bad behavior on different packages like Libreoffice Calc (GTK), Calligra (QT) and even in the test input field under plasma system settings -> input devices -> keyboard. I suppose the bug has been present since the switch from X11 to Wayland as I originally reported upstream more than one year ago: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=449706 Not sure I chose the right component, though. See also LibreOffice discussion on bug report https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143540 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set regional settings o a language like Italian or German (using ',' as decimal separator) 2. Logout/login to apply regional settings. Use a Wayland desktop session. 3. open a spreadsheet app like LO Calc or Calligra and try to enter a decimal number using keypad Actual Results: The number is entered as '12.34' which is recognized as text because of the '.' Expected Results: The number is entered as '12,34' which is recognized as number because uses the right decimal separator
Proposed as a Blocker for 39-final by Fedora user mattia using the blocker tracking app because: Breaks expected functionality in several packages by entering numbers in the wrong format (spreadsheets recognize numbers as text instead of decimal numbers)
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle. Changing version to 39.
Cannot reproduce this bug on Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-39-20230822.n.0.iso decimal separator working as expected. System Locale: LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8 VC Keymap: br X11 Layout: br
These are the steps to reproduce the issue, tested with Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-39-20230826.n.0.iso - start KDE Live system as normal - in KDE "system settings | regional" set the system to use Italian - logout - on login screen set the keyboard layout to Italian and login using a Wayland session - start Calc and type any float number in a cell (using the decimal separator from the keypad). Expected "12,34" (recognized as number), get "12.34" (recognized as text) - logout - on login screen set the keyboard layout to Italian and login using a X11 session - start Calc and type any float number in a cell. Get "12,34" (recognized as number) For "decimal separator on the keypad" I mean https://mattia.fedorapeople.org/keypad.jpg (I don't know if it's the right name).
Discussed during the 2023-08-28 blocker review meeting: [0] The decision to classify this bug as a "RejectedBlocker (Final)" was made as, while we agree this is an annoying bug that should be fixed, it doesn't really violate any release criterion, can be worked around by using the other key, and has already been the case for a while.
