      Thank you John for your test.
      This is precisely what does not work for me since SU2014.
      And I do not understand why.

        is the label changing, when you use 'Scale', and does it stay like it when you type?
        mine is like this when I type...

          I changed the preferences mac keyboard language (French keyboard , french numeric keyboard, American english ...) Nothing change.
          @driven : yes the label change when i move the scale handles. But i don't understand the second part of your sentence. I can not type a double value with scale ❓

            sorry, what I mean is the Title looks like that before and as I type my 25cm...

            the two scale factors disappear as I type...

            maybe a better example, is after I type...
            moved with a corner handle, then typed...
            I'm still in the tool...

            it hasn't changed back to Measurements yet...

            once is has [changed back to Measurements], my shortcut keys work...

            are you using a mouse or trackpad?

            anything else you changed?

              did you restart SU after that change?
              what do you get when you paste and enter this into 'Window' >> 'Ruby Console'

              Sketchup.get_locale
              

              if the keyboard changes have worked for SU, it should return... en-US...

                To be more exact, I work with French numeric keyboard .
                I have to type values ​​as [120;200] with ";" as separator.
                My os is maverick.
                Everything works fine as long as I do not type a letter corresponding to a keyboard shortcut.

                If I disable keyboard shortcuts "m" and "c" (Circle and Move) I can use values ​​with units again.
                A temporary solution would be to change the Circle and Move keyboard shortcuts.

                  Is there any chance you're adding a space between the numeric and 'm'?

                    It sounds like you have a conflict between the regional settings of your computer and the version of SU you are using.
                    Are you using an English version on a french system? Perhaps it's not locking out the keyboard because it's thinking it's something else. Usually the relevant keys are ignored when in a specific tool but others still jump to a shortcut.
                    For example I think if you type 30z when drawing a circle it will jump to zoom, but 30s will change the number of sides as you know. So maybe the fringlish has it confused. I can't test my theory as I'm on my phone at the moment.

                        If as you mentioned earlier this is a fresh install, I would be uninstalling and trying again.
                        It sounds like a problem no one else has and I can't even come close to replicating it.
                        A reinstall or even a repair might sort it for you.

                            @box there is nothing to repair or reinstall on the mac version, it's now a preconfigured drag and drop app...

                            it will be the same every time...

                            removing shortcuts plists, empty trash, then restart...

                            may help

                            356CM [using KEYLOCK] also works here...

                              @ box. I've uninstalled SU2014 (su + layout + style builder)last week with CleanMyMac2. I then reinstalled. The problem remained.
                              @ driven. "c" or "C" gives the same.

                              thank you for your dedication

                                Hi folks,
                                since I change my hard drive and reinstall my operating system from a backup, everything came back fine.
                                have a nice day
