How are float values formatted?

The formatting of a float value depends on the default numeric settings for the default locale. For example, if the default locale is French (France), and you type a value of 123.45, the number appears as 123,45 after you navigate to a different part of the application and return.

If you change the numeric settings for the default locale—for example, if you change the decimal point character for the French locale from a comma to a period—the default settings are still used. In this example, a comma is still used as the decimal point character.
