Just fyi: decimal separator issues with LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8

(Solved for me by setting LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8", but potentially relevant here so letting you know)

I used the GUI in Ubuntu 22.04 with LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8.

When I inserted e.g. 50.123456 with a ., it automatically made 5,0123456E7 out of it.

When I then stored the scenario with comma-separated floating point numbers and tried re-opening it, I got:

.

After setting export LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" in my bashrc, I could use . everywhere and everything floating-point related worked ✅

So it looks to me like some places in the GUI adjust to the LC_NUMERIC setting, while others may be hard-coded to expect a dot, where the combination of both could cause issues.
