Bug#317846: gcalctool: Confusion when decimal sign is not '.'

[Vincent Lönngren]

Package: gcalctool
Version: 5.6.14-1
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n

I locales that do not use '.' as decimal sign, gcalctool will present the results with the locales standard decimal sign. However, it 
will not accept it as input. This means that you can enter 1+0.5, which returns 1,5 (if the decimal sign is ','). If you then type 
+1, gcalctool will complain about the bad input format.
