Public bug reported:

Keyboard settings: English (US, with euro on 5)
Localisation settings: Dutch


It is impossible to input decimals using the numpad. In Dutch, the decimal separator is "," instead of "." 
However, when using (for example) the terminal (like bc), when I put in 2.5 using the numpad, it gets changed to "2,5", and bc gives a syntax error. To input 2.5, I have to switch away from the numpad and use the period key to put in the decimal point.

In gnucash, the problem is the other way around. I can put in 2.5 using
the numpad, it does get changed to "2,5", but gnucash recognises it
properly as a fraction. However, In gnucash, I cannot put in 2.5 using
the period key. It doesnt put a "." or ",", or anything else. Its like
it doesn't accept whatever the period key sends as input, and stays
blank.
