Bug Description
Binary package hint: gcalctool
When using the Swedish (among others) keyboard layout, the numerical keyboard sends comma (",") as decimal dot. Gcalctool does not accept the comma as a decimal dot and you need to type the dot from the main keyboard.
Suggestion: Translate comma into a dot, while typing.

Workaround (with probable side-effects):
System/ Preferences/ Keyboard -> Layouts -> Options -> Numeric keyboard delete key behaviour
Set this to "Legacy key with dot"
After this the calculator accepts the numeric decimal "point".
