            Bug ID: 140104
           Summary: The localisation of the decimal separator does not
                    work for every type a French keyboard in LibreOffice
                    Calc
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc

Description:
I discovered this bug on Fedora 33 with LibreOffice 7.0.4.2 set on the
French/France Localisation. If we set the default keyboard as "French (alt.)"
or as another alternative French keyboard than "French" or "French (AZERTY)",
LibreOffice Calc does not apply the localisation of the decimal separator
whereas it works with the "French" or the "French (AZERTY) keyboard". For
information, in France the decimal separator is not a point but a coma. For
example, the number 2,121.25 (US disposition) is written 2 121,25 in France. It
is very problematic because the "French (alt.)" keyboard disposition is set as
default on many Linux distros for the French/France localisation because it
enables to type all the characters of the French language (such as œ or Œ or É
or Ç) whereas "French" or "French (AZERTY)" don’t enable it at all.

Steps to Reproduce:
You have to use a computer with French/France Localisation with the "French
(alt.)" disposition ("Français (variante)" in French language).
1. Open a new file in LibreOffice Calc (with setting to make the decimal
separator same as the localisation system preferences enabled).
2. Try to type a decimal number using the button of the decimal separator on
the numeric keypad.

Actual Results:
A point will appear on the screen instead of a coma and the number typed won’t
be recognised by LibreOffice Calc as a number but as text.

Expected Results:
The expected result is a coma when we press the button of the decimal separator
on the numeric keypad of the keyboard.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
