[Bug 38994] Re: kicker applet 'arythmetic evaluator' has problem with national decimal symbol

[PascalCavy]

still true as of recent dapper 20060529

** Summary changed:

- applet arythmetic evaluator has problem with national decimal point
+ kicker applet 'arythmetic evaluator' has problem with national decimal symbol

** Description changed:

  This was working right under kde 3.5.1. In kde 3.5.2 dapper ii  kicker-
  applets           3.5.2-0ubuntu1
  
  I have a problem when using the applet that does arithmetic evaluation.
  
  I am in french language :
  $ locale
  LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
  LANGUAGE=fr_FR:fr:en_GB:en
  LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_TIME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_PAPER="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_NAME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_ALL=
  
  but entering number with french decimal point (.) triggers a syntax
  error in the applet. It works only when using the comma (,).
  
  but the results are given with the right decimal points (.)
  
  example :
  7*45.7  ENTER   ==> syntax error
  7*45,7 ENTER ==> 319.9   (notice the . which is right)
  319.9*2 ENTER ==> syntax error 
  
  
  I tried after verifying that KDE local are rightly set to french. But defaults for this local is ',' as decimal point. 
  Then I changed decimal point to '.' and restarted KDE.
- Result is the same syntax error when using arythmetic expression using '.' as decimal.
+ Result is the same syntax error when using arythmetic expression using '.' as decimal symbol.
