I think that this isn't considered a bug at least if I understand what
you are talking about.

>From the upstream bug report:

bbouwens: apparently you didn't read this issue/don't know what this issue is 
about.
Dutch uses the comma as decimal operator, so when you enter "1.3" it is not a
number, but parsed as a date instead. This was the behvaiour and wasn't changed
by this issue at all.

What changed is: If you enter 1<numpad-"dot/comma">3 - then you'll always get
the decimal seperator of the defined reginal setting, no matter whether the key
on your numbad sends a . or a ,
With dutch locale, you would get 1,3 - with english locale you would get 1.3 

When you explicitly enter a dot, then you would get a number in an english
locale only (in locales that uses a dot as decimal seperator).

So: This change only affects the "dot" on the numpad.

PS: Dutch != Germany - but decimal seperator in the Netherlands is , and not . -
just like in Germany. Either use the numpad or use the comma explicitly
