Sounds like a locale issue (internationalization). Perhaps the language
you have selected on your system uses the ',' character instead of a
period (see "man atof" or "man strtod"). To see what language you are
using type "env | grep LANG" from a shell.
I used to also use entry boxes for #s and the like, now I use spin
buttons which do all that for you. Hope that helps..
