Comment 56 for bug 272606

I am sorry I did not understand it properly before, there was a similar
issue in a previous release.
I have tested now in my system as described and I actually do get the same
problem you have (i.e in the numeric keypad the dot gives a coma when typed
in the OpenOffice suite)
