Description cno 2006-11-15 08:46:39 UTC 
Hi *,

I have Dutch language settings;
Now, via Tools|Options|Language settings|Languages change those to English 
   (GB or US, doesn't make a difference, the key is that the decimal 
    seperator is '.' and not ',');
Now the default tab setting (Tools|Options|OOoWriter|General) changes to 99.99 cm;

This influences working with tabs en indentation in new docs and is very nasty,
(unless you are able to find the course of trouble swiftly, of course ;-) )

Same problem the other way round. So must have to do with the decimal seperator,
IMO.

Greetings,
Cor

Hi,

I forget to mention that it is the 'Locale setting'!
(in Tools|Options|Language settings|Languages)

I have the same problem, but it happened only when I changed back to Dutch.

Reassigned to SBA.

The same problem here with 2.0.4 on Win2000
Comment 5 gustaaf 2006-11-15 19:32:40 UTC 
Hi,

I tested the problem also. Starting from Dutch(Belgium) I went to English(VS). 
No problem the first time. I go back to Dutch(Belgium), still no problem.
I changed the settings to English(GB) -> first time problem noticed. Every 
change I do afterwards between Dutch(Belgium) or Dutch(NL) and English(VS) or 
English(GB) the default tab setting switches to 99,99cm.

Kind regards

Gustaaf

Confirming with OO 2.0.4 on Win XP - going from "." to "," as decimal 
separator causes tab stops to jump from 0,47" to 39,37"  (you have to close 
dialog with OK first, then reopen it to see the change.

Maybe duplicate to issue 27335?
Comment 9 stefan.baltzer 2007-02-15 14:05:59 UTC 
Yes, this is an "old friend". I raised the prio of issue 27335 to P3 and set
target OOo 2.x.
