<pre>Description:
The locale for South Africa inside Calc is wrong. Whether Decimal Separator Key
is checked to be the same as locale makes no difference.
Calc doesn't treat numbers with . that conform to the system formatting as
numbers because it is expecting a comma as a decimal separator. South Africa
last used the comma as a decimal separator over 25 years ago.
There isn't an easy way to configure it to be correct throughout the
spreadsheet.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.System regional settings are set to South Africa (i.e. currency is Rands,
decimal separator is . and thousands grouping is space)
2. Language settings in Libre Office are South African English
3. Open a new spreadsheet in Calc
4. Numbers are displayed with , as decimal separator and are required to be
entered with , as a decimal separator
5. When I copy numbers from other applications with the decimal as . Calc
treats it as text
6. If you try to multiple a number with a . by 2 as decimal separator it gives
a value error. If you try to multiple a number with a , by 2 as decimal
separator it gives a number answer with , as separator
Actual Results:
The locale for South Africa inside Calc is wrong. Whether Decimal Separator Key
is checked to be the same as locale makes no difference.
Calc doesn't treat numbers with . that conform to the system formatting as
numbers because it is expecting a comma as a decimal separator. South Africa
last used the comma as a decimal separator over 25 years ago.
There isn't an easy way to configure it to be correct throughout the
spreadsheet.
Expected Results:
Numbers and dates in Calc should conform to what is specified as system-wide
settings. At the very least, the locale settings for South Africa in Libre
Office should be set to have . instead of , as decimal separator.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
OS is Windows 10 x64</pre>
