Bug Description
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=
LC_CTYPE=
LC_NUMERIC=
LC_TIME=
LC_COLLATE=
LC_MONETARY=
LC_MESSAGES=
LC_PAPER=
LC_NAME=
LC_ADDRESS=
LC_TELEPHONE=
LC_MEASUREMENT=
LC_IDENTIFICATI
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 symbol.
