[2.0.14] Set constant number Dialog, cannot confirm with "E" Key

Post by EvilPLa »

When entering a constant number in any Combinator, the Dialog opens and puts the cursor in the inputfield for numbers. that Dialog can not e closed by pressing "E" Key

To reproduce the Issue:
- Place a Combinator (eg. Decider Combinator) and open it's dialog
- Click on the Number Button to enter a constant number
- The Dialog (like in the picture) opens and puts the cursor in the input field
- Enter a number with the keyboard
- Press "E" ky to close/confirm the dialog

What happens
=> you type the letter e into the number input field

What should happen
=> The input dialog should close and set the number in the combinator dialog

"Workaround" click the confirm button with the mouse

Im on linux using XFCE if that is relevant

If you dislike the ability to enter formulas in the number field, you can always go to hidden settings (Hold Ctrl+Alt while clicking Settings, then click "The rest") and disable "use-formulas-in-number-input-fields" checkbox: this will make E to confirm numbers instead of typing a letter.

Could this option be moved to the Interface section of the settings menu, so players could turn it off if they want to without needing to dive through the forums for a thread with this tidbit in it?
