This commit *fixed* it. Localised number formatting *used* to work on earlier versions of KDE (which is what KF5/Plasma/… was called then), but broke with the switch from KLocale to Qlocale. > A similar pattern occurs three different times just in KDevelop, and I can't even see how to work around this without breaking translations. For non-localised formatting of numbers, use QString::number() instead of QLocale::toString(), as detailed in https://api.kde.org/frameworks/ki18n/html/prg_guide.html#subs_notes. Note that this is not KDE-specific; it’s true for all Qt applications (KF5 just had a bug which made the user’s locale not being used).
