Works fine here - can you confirm the steps required to reproduce this?

No more steps than what is described above.
Investigating a bit, i find that it has to do with conversion of decimal separator. Values are displayed with a dot but i can't enter dot in my text lineedit. And if i use comma, i need to use it in all the four boxes to have the map item resized; changing a single value is ignored.
In 2.18, values are displayed with dot and changes allow both dot and comma (with no need to update the four boxes)

Ah, in that case I'm clueless - I have no idea about localisation and comma/decimal handling, and an impromptu qa held at the hackfest last year left me more clueless! Someone else will need to fix this.

#4 Updated by Harrissou Santanna over 6 years ago

Did something change in that area in the underlying libraries? Because it works pretty well in 2.18: i can type x and y coordinates values with either "." or ",".
