Summary0011496: Guide manager manual input
DescriptionWhen creating new single guides through the guide manager, if you input a number manually and press enter the input gets multiplied by 100 (if you're using the point measurement unit) or 1000 (if you're using millimeters.)
Steps To Reproduce- start a new project, single page or any other
- right click inside the project are, choose "manage guides"
- on the "single" tab, click the add button for either horizontal or vertical guide
- input any number in the edit box and after pressing enter evidence the issue. Whichever value you have inputted, it will be multiplied or truncated to 84.189.00 for points and 297.000.000 for millimeters
- if you use the arrow controls to increase the value in steps, the issue appears whether you simply click outside of the edit box or press enter
Additional InformationIf you double click the guide edit box, input a number and then just click somewhere outside of the edit box, the problem is bypassed.

Hmmm, i can not reproduce that here. I guess this may be related to Windows current regional settings. Which language is currently defined in your Windows regional settings for formatting date and numbers?

Croatia. The decimal separator is a dot, here's a screenshot http://prntscr.com/10y0mt

I installed a Windows 7 x64 virtual machine with croatian regional settings. Unfortunately i am still unable to reproduce what you observe...

Well, I really don't know what else info I can offer. Would video proof help?

It happens on both my home 7 SP1 box and XP SP3 office PC. These two machines are completely different, so I doubt it's keyboard related or something of the sorts.

I'm assuming you're also using Croatian keyboard layout on the virtual machine.

Unfortunately no.

Yes, i've also set that virtual machine to use Croatian keyboard layout.

Well, this is obviously not a major problem since nobody else reported it.
I thought submitting a ticket may help, but it's pretty far from critical anyhow. I lost an hour or so on it simply because I'm stubborn as a mule.

There are one or two more issues I wanted to report, but now I'm not sure if I should bother your with them, maybe I'm just unlucky :P

I tried reproduce this on Linux. No luck.

OK, I have some interesting new development.

As things were up to now, the decimal separator when inputting margin offsets was a dot. If I would enter say 500 and press return, it would display 500.000.000.

I went into Regional settings and adjusted the locale, location and keyboard input to English UK. Restarted, went into scribus and I noticed the decimal separator is now a comma, even though in the UK locale the decimal separator is a dot.

After changing the locale and the keyboard input back to Croatian, I rebooted the machine and now things seem to be OK, the decimal separator when entering margins is now a comma and inputs are interpreted as intended.

I'm guessing something in initial detection of the system settings was messed up, so the decimal separator wasn't detected properly. I tried using a comma before, but it would just act as if I was inputting a zero.

Added 0012340 as it's very similar. It was reported by 2 Windows 7 users (German UI + keyboard layout) on 1.4.3 and 1.4.4.

To fix this issue just reset your Windows local settings (see 0013167).
