Seems like a localisation issue with the separator ‘,’ used instead of ‘.’ when switching to a German locale.

Just thought I’d report this issue as I didn’t notice it with version 3.8.14.

Hi @Motte,
my suggestion: have initial setup with en_us locale, then move to de_de

@Flyer, that’s exactly what I did to solve it on my end.

Thanks
