can't enter decimal point

Post by delicious »

i'm currently testing the current version 2.1.0.777 (trial mode). when i try to enter a price in the "menu items" configuration, i can't enter the "." for prices like e.g. 5.90. does this have to do with my german keyboard layout? i tried to change it to an us/english layout but it still doesn't work for me. suprisingly copy&paste of a "." works. is there any trick how to enter the decimal point?
thanks for your help in advance!

It's something with your keyboard. We will verify it today.

We verified our source code. There is no special processing for decimal separator for Price field in Menu Items window.

BTW in your example you use . (dot) as decimal separator. But in Germany people normally use , (comma) as decimal separator.

So which decimal separator do you use on your computer: comma or dot?
(It's defined in Windows - Control Panel - Regional settings).

In ARPOS go to Configuration - Property Settings. You may specify the needed format. Read the documentation.

You said you can copy/paste the decimal separator. But does ARPOS work then without any issues? I mean can you add menu items to orders. Does it show correct totals?
