Bug Description
Keyboard settings: English (US, with euro on 5)
Localisation settings: Dutch
It is impossible to input decimals using the numpad. In Dutch, the decimal separator is "," instead of "."
However, when using (for example) the terminal (like bc), when I put in 2.5 using the numpad, it gets changed to "2,5", and bc gives a syntax error. To input 2.5, I have to switch away from the numpad and use the period key to put in the decimal point.
In gnucash, the problem is the other way around. I can put in 2.5 using the numpad, it does get changed to "2,5", but gnucash recognises it properly as a fraction. However, In gnucash, I cannot put in 2.5 using the period key. It doesnt put a "." or ",", or anything else. Its like it doesn't accept whatever the period key sends as input, and stays blank.

Workaround:
For now, I've set the localisation to Irish, since they have the Euro and speak English, but there should be a better solution for this.
