Bug Description

When I type a number with decimal point at dash, it simply ignores that character.

For example:
Type 1.1+1
Result: 12
Expected: 2.1

Type 1,1+1
Result: 12
Expected: 2,1

Type 3.14*2
Result: 628
Expected: 6.28

Type 3,14*2
Result: 628
Expected: 6,28

I type both "." and "," as decimal separator character, because I use spanish localization and spanish decimal character is "," instead of "".

Calculator application work as expected.

Hi and thanks for the report, which version of Ubuntu are you using?
Does it also happen when you type "calc:3,14*2" ? What about "calc:pi*2" ?

Will the scopes be used in LTS 18.04. If yes, this problem should be solved, as a correct calculator in the HUD is very convenient ...
My suggestions use . and , as decimal point regardless of localization.
