In formula box, "/" key shows as " "

On MacBook Air running OS X 10.11.3 and Numbers 3.6.1 (2566), when trying to enter "/" in the fx dialog, the key shows as "+".


Steps to reproduce:

  • Enter cell, type "=" to bring up fx dialog
  • Click on a populated cell to start formula
  • Click "/" key to start division
  • Issue: "+" key appears instead of "/".


Blocks ability to do simple division.

MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

Are you sure that it is a "+" (plus) sign?

Numbers should show "÷" (divide) if you type "/" (slash).
