I looked at QLocale <https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qlocale.html> and indeed, they just throw in some ‘most appropriate’ country instead of leaving the country open (AnyCountry). That is just madness.

(I would consider it a workaround for the bad Qt behavior, but that'll be more difficult to correct.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
