Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gcalctool
I can't seem to type a decimal point in the calculator. There are
several workaround to get one (click on the corresponding button, hit
enter to get the trailing zeroes and then edit the decimal part) but
this renders the calculator almost unusable anyway...
And no, my "." key is not broken.
I recently upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy and never noticed the problem
before, so I guess this was introduced in Hardy.
It might be also worth mentioning that I live in Belgium and have
configured the appropriate keyboard layout, which means I have to hit
shift to be able to enter a decimal point and it might be that gcalctool
totally ignores the shift key. I just noticed it ignores the CAPSLOCK
state, so that seem plausible. I find it barely believable, but this
option might be worth investigating...
Not sure this can help, but here is the output of "locale":
