I frequently use KRunner to do simple sums when doing my accounting. I keep a ledger with numbers formatted as e.g. 1,000.00. My system settings in KDE for number formatting under Region & Language is set to British English, i.e. the way I want it. However, whenever I copy a sum from KRunner, e.g. “1000.25 + 1000.25”, it is copied as “2000,5” (i.e. no thousands-delimiter, wrong decimal point and only one decimal number). It gets a bit annoying to change this manually.

I can’t seen to find any specific settings for this in KRunner or the Calculator plugin, and I would expect it to respect KDE’s own settings.

Does anyone know how to force KRunner to do my bidding here?

    If that was true, it should be using no delimiters, and therefore still a bug.

    Also, American English delimits large numbers like 1,000,000.
