Description Nicolás Adamo 2024-03-09 18:09:37 UTC 
Description:
The decimal separator in the Numeric Keyboard, when pressed, enters a "." instead of the expected "," (comma) as it is mentioned in the options (Tools - Options - Languages and Locales - General - Decimal Key on the NumPad - CheckBox "Same as locale setting (,)".
I'm using ArchLinux with Plasma / KDE 6.0.1 and Kernel 6.6.21-1-lts

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start LibreOffice, then new Calc document, and enter any figure with decimals in the NumPad, having a locale setting in Latin America, like Chile or Argentina.
2. The figure is interpreted as a text string. 
3.

Actual Results:
4.2 for example, interpreted as string in any cell

Expected Results:
4,2 interpreted as a decimal value in any cell


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Now I've tried the User Profile Reset, with no success. Still the decimal separator is misinterpreted.

Thanks for the report.
This affects Plasma + Wayland and is "not our bug", please see bug 143540.

Even though you confirmed that using xcb does fix the issue, also note bug 140104.
