Hi,
Our local school has a 100 % CentOS network on servers and desktops. Until recently, we were using a highly customized Xfce desktop environment. Last week I decided to migrate all desktops from Xfce to GNOME, which went quite well. Now I have to sand down some rough edges.
The secretary complained that she can't use the numeric keypad as before. She's using LibreOffice Calc a lot, and she has to type in a lot of numbers with commas. With Xfce this was not a problem. Under GNOME, this won't work anymore. As far as I can tell, this has to do with the locale-specific syntax of 0.00 vs 0,00. Our systems are all localized in french.
Any idea how this can be solved?
Cheers,
Niki

Niki,
Thank you for your post. I have just created a hypervisor with kvm and centos 7.5, and posted the same keypad problem I thought was related to kvm, but when I checked on my host centos 7.5 machine as opposed to the guest machines, the keypad did not work on it either. Looks like there is a problem with the latest version of gnome3 in Centos 7.5.
