Bug 138932

Description:
Hi,

I am french and I use an AZERTY keyboard. I just want to tell you about a confusing situation.

Here is the problematic condition that prompted me to open this bug report (which is more a request for improvement because it creates confusion in my opinion): I use the period character in a password to secure a document.

If I use the period character in it (which is not the comma character), I don't get the same thing if I use the alphanumeric keypad as if I use the numeric keypad.
Why ? Quite simply because the period character of the numeric keypad is considered by LibreOffice application as the decimal separator character. But the keyboard does not show this distinction. In fact users can type one or the other (I had difficulty opening some documents before I understood why).

So I suggest in LibreOffice when we type a password to manage the keys for what they represent on the keyboard to avoid confusion.

I experienced it on Linux Debian Buster x64 with LibreOffice Version: 6.1.5.2 for Calc and Writer and I suppose the problem is related only to the way libreoffice handles passwords.

Regards,
lnj
