LR 6:

Cannot enter negative values e.g. for lighting in Development (e.g., -1,0); sets always to zero.
Works if I just move the slider; positive values ("+1", "1") work also.

(MacOS 10.10.3)

    When Adjusting tint by entering value for text area, set minus value to adjust for green,
    Bounce back value goes to 0 and oppsite adjust (i.e. set -20 , +20 adjust appears) automatically appears at history.

    Ok, I found the bug. The bug would appear if you set the Lr UI language preference to certain local languages such as German, Dutch etc. There is a mistranslation in one of the translated strings. 

    1. If your UI language is German, open the following TranslatedStrings.txt file in TextEdit on Mac OSX:

    /Applications/Adobe Lightroom/Adobe Lightroom.app/Contents/Resources/de.lproj/TranslatedStrings.txt

    2. Make a copy of the file so that you can revert to if you did something wrong in the following.

    3. Find the text line text that looks like this

    "$$$/AgUI/TextField/MinusReplacementNoSpace=^U+2212 "

    4. Remove the extra space after the ^U+2212. The result would look like

    "$$$/AgUI/TextField/MinusReplacementNoSpace=^U+2212"

    5. Save your change to the original file named TranslatedStrings.txt.

    Relaunch Lightroom and the bug would be fixed.

    If you run into the same issue in other local language, you should look for TranslatedStrings.txt for your specific language at step 1. It is in a similar subfolder structure inside /Applications/Adobe Lightroom/Adobe Lightroom.app/Contents/Resources/. Something looks lie /Applications/Adobe Lightroom/Adobe Lightroom.app/Contents/Resources/[replace_with_your_two_letter_language_code].lproj

    Ok, thanks. Situation is as following:

    * problem only occurs if language is set to German, regardless of number formats
    * if language is English, everything is fine
    * problem doesn't occur in LR 5.7 or PS CS6 (Eng or Ger)

    I updated my mac to 10.10.3 from 10.10.2, I am still not able to reproduce the your issue. I am on an English setup. We had a bug report like this introduced in one of the more recent Mac OSX update and a fixed was made a verified by one of our prerelease customers. There is something special about your system setup.
