Area: Keyboards, mice and trackpads Summary: I used to comment out code in Xcode by using the handy / and * keys on the number pad to quickly type "/**/" or "//". This stopped working a while ago (El Capitan? not sure.). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use a A1243 keyboard with German layout (that might not be necessary) 2. Use German as an input source 3. Type a "*" and/or a "/" in on the number pad (the keys right below F18 and F19) in e.g. Text Edit. Expected Results: A "/" or "*" should show up Actual Results: Nothing happens when hitting those keys. Version: macOS 10.10.3 (16D32) and earlier. Notes: Same problem with the "=" key below F17. "+" and "-" on the number pad work as expected. Configuration: - A1243 keyboard with German layout (that might not be necessary) - German as an input source Attachments: 'IMG_0298.JPG' was successfully uploaded.
