I've removed %t from other rc files. I think xfce-terminal has also been fixed so that the notification only happens if the screen contents actually changes, a refresh with same text no longer triggers it.

I've included this fix in JOE github repo. But should I be taking anything else from https://github.com/cmur2/joe-syntax ?

OK, this is now fixed in the github repo. I ended up using your code to find the locale decimal point character. So now: Calculator always expects '.' for decimal point on input. It ignores underscores on input. It no longer prints underscores on output, it uses locale characters instead. Calculator prints numbers in the locale format on the status line. "ins" inserts numbers with '.' for decimal point. This is almost always what you want. New command "insf" inserts numbers formatted in the locale....

Right now there is an in-core database of file positions which is loaded at startup and then updated whenever someone closes a window. So one way to fix this problem is to update the file position part of the state file whenever someone closes a window- basically eliminate the in-core clone of the file positions and have only one global copy of this information. Likewise, when you open a file, the editor would get the most recent file position instead of what it was when the editor was invoked. I'm...

This is now fixed in the github repo.

This should now be fixed in the github repo. Need someone with MAC OS to verify it.

Ah, OK, read too fast. Also, reproducing the bug didn't work for me initially (in Ubuntu 22.04)- I had to run "locale-gen de_DE.UTF-8" first (then it shows up in "locale -k LC_NUMERIC"). Anyway, I see some solutions involving uselocale, but unfortunately it's not universally available. For the number format in the edit buffer, we probably need Ctrl-T options. What often happens with me is that inserted numbers with underscores are not often acceptable. Also, comma is bad news because it's often a...

I'm trying to figure out if using "," in place of "." is a good idea even in locales where that's the norm. I guess the problem I have with it is that this is not done in programming languages so I'm not sure it's a good idea in JOE's "math". Hmm.. well I just tried it in Libre Office and it does use "," in de_DE.utf-8.
