Re: Problem with negative values in InputField

I have had problems with the minus sign since I started using FreeCAD.
QD solution I've used is to copy-paste.

FreeCAD minus −
Swedish minus -
Hope the difference is visible in all browsers :?

Hi Werner, are you sure? They display differently for me in Firefox so wouldn't that mean that they must have a different Unicode values?

Yes, at least in Debian wheezy.

This and all other local deviations is something that the UN should standardize. :mrgreen:

I have the exact same (I presume) error on Mac OSX using Swedish locale. Filed a bug here: http://www.freecadweb.org/tracker/view.php?id=1627

Thanks to wmayer for linking them. :)

I meant it's the same unicode char as DevJohan has -- just in case there are multiple minus signs in unicode defined.

Under Windows one can set the "minus" inside the control panel for negative numbers. After this change I can confirm all the trouble.

A few more things we have to beware of:

Code: Select all

from PySide import QtCore


print "Negative signs:"
for i,j in QtCore.QLocale.Language.values.iteritems():
  l=QtCore.QLocale(j)
  if ord(l.negativeSign()) != ord('-'):
     i, l.negativeSign().encode("utf-8")
     print ""



print "Positive signs:"
for i,j in QtCore.QLocale.Language.values.iteritems():
  l=QtCore.QLocale(j)
  if ord(l.positiveSign()) != ord('+'):
     i, l.positiveSign().encode("utf-8")
     print ""


print "Decimal points:"
for i,j in QtCore.QLocale.Language.values.iteritems():
  l=QtCore.QLocale(j)
  if not ord(l.decimalPoint()) in (ord(','),ord('.')):
     i, l.decimalPoint().encode("utf-8")
     print ""


print "Group separator:"
for i,j in QtCore.QLocale.Language.values.iteritems():
  l=QtCore.QLocale(j)
  if not ord(l.groupSeparator()) in (ord(','),ord('.')):
     i, l.groupSeparator().encode("utf-8")
     print ""


print "Percent:"
for i,j in QtCore.QLocale.Language.values.iteritems():
  l=QtCore.QLocale(j)
  if ord(l.percent()) != ord('%'):
     i, l.percent().encode("utf-8")
     print ""


print "Zero digit:"
for i,j in QtCore.QLocale.Language.values.iteritems():
  l=QtCore.QLocale(j)
  if ord(l.zeroDigit()) != ord('0'):
     i, l.zeroDigit().encode("utf-8")
     print ""
