Description Samuel Thibault 2011-10-02 11:16:29 UTC 
Problem description: 
While typing numbers in a spreadsheet in the french locale, typing the decimal key on the keypad produces a dot, which is not taken as decimal point by libreoffice, since the french decimal character is the comma, not the dot.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a spreadsheet
2. Hit the decimal key on the keypad

Current behavior:

Always produces a dot, whatever the locale.

Expected behavior:
              
Produce a localized decimal character, i.e. a comma in the french locale (the output of nl_langinfo(DECIMAL_POINT)).
Comment 1 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2012-01-22 10:35:53 UTC 
Please define the ad-hoc option : menu Tools > Options > Language settings > Langages -> in checkbox "Decimal separator key" choose what you want.

Closing as not-a-bug.

Best regards. JBF
