--- Comment #2 from [email protected] --- Sigh. I've been using kmymoney for almost 20 years. Updating from version 1 to version 5.0 (about 3 years ago) was challenging due to a host of database conversion issues. After these issues were sorted, the most productivity sapping "feature" was that the data widget changed -- rather than bump the day, the "-" and "=" keys bumped the day, month, or year depending on where in the date the cursor was positioned. Now with version 5.2, entering dates changes again -- this time in an even more disruptive way for (I'm guessing) many users (see bug report 506399 and this bug report). To Jack's comment: Using the keypad may work for some, but most laptops do not have a separate keypad, so the keypad workaround is not a good solution. Characters "+" and "=" not being on the same key for some keyboard layouts is a good point -- in this case, though, I contend that it is much less disruptive to have an additional key ("=") increment the date, than to change the original behavior for those of us with "=" and "+" characters on the same key. Finally, I suggested altering the date's arrow key behavior to restore the behavior lost from 5.1.3 (see bug report 506399) albeit with the arrow keys rather than the "-" and "+"/"=" keys. Not perfect, but a workable solution, I think. Version 5.2.1 has lots of good changes and fixes -- let's make entering and adjusting dates a simple as it once was. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
