The latest version in flatpak points to v61 which contains the python 3 regression showing the byte b"n" labels on the beads (#22). Would it be possible to do a v62 release?

Hello, and thanks!

I'm trying this on Pop!_OS, with v61 via flathub. I am excited to see that I can type numbers at the top of the abacus and see the results, but I can only do so with the number row of my keyboard, not the numpad, regardless of numlock state. I'm using a lenovo ideapad, and can list more specifics if the problem is not reproducible elsewhere.

Adding a Custom sidebar in wiki for better accessibility and navigation
currently, I don't have right's to create one

I observed that there's very less space between the result area, Toolbar and abacus area.
I think increasing the margin between Result part, Toolbar and Abacus will give us more space and would look cleaner.

Tasks:

• Add Margin between Result, Toolbar and Margin
• Increase the Font Size of Result
• Adding Border to result would make it look more appealing

A similar problem has arisen in Typing Turtle Activity and has been solved by a work around

See right side.
The flatpak will also have to be updated

In abacus_window.py at line 773, https://github.com/sugarlabs/activity-abacus/blob/master/abacus_window.py#L773

locale.setlocal(locale.LC_NUMERIC, '')

may fail with a traceback and "unsupported locale setting".

Ubuntu 18.04 beta. Reproduces in Python;

import locale
locale.setlocal(locale.LC_NUMERIC, '')

Depends on environment variables;

• LANG=en_AU fails,
• LANG=en_AU.UTF-8 works.

Hello, and thanks for this! I especially appreciate the custom layouts.

I have v61 installed via flathub.

I find using a trackpad for this is cumbersome, and would really appreciate a handful of keyboard controls, something like:

• left and right: change column focus
• up and down: slide one lower bead of focused column
• shift+up and shift+down: slide all lower beads of focused column
• ctrl+up and ctrl+down: slide one upper bead of focused column
• shift+ctrl+up and shift+ctrl+down: slide all upper beads of focused column
• c or r, I don't know: clear/reset board
• esc: clear and focus the number entry field (leaving board intact)

Steps to reproduce:

• Open the activity

After making a calculation and trying to reset the abacus board, the reset button has no effect and this is shown in the logs.
Noticed after a couple of tries.
