Comma not accepted as decimal separator in various fields

[murk-sy]

Description of the bug

While most fields allow using comma as decimal separator and automatically converting it to a period, not all do. This seems to to be the case on all modal settings, but not for those modified in the main application window.

Entering "9,2" into both fields:

Separator for decimal and floating part of number depends on language you are using. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator#Examples_of_use Question is which behavior is more correct? BTW: What is your personal reason of using , instead of . ?

Technically, it's based on the system locale, which is not necessarily the same as system language, but that's splitting hairs.

All my up-to-date software is able to accept comma as decimal separator, Fusion 360 being the main example. I have either English or Slovenian as the language, but locale is always Slovenian (for correct time/number formats).

Considering the vast majority of 3D printing right now is relatively small, the existence of thousands (and other similar) separators can largely be ignored. This means that either period or comma can easily be interpreted as "decimals follow".

I use comma because it is, as far as my locale is concerned (in both a physical and electronic sense), the correct one. The other reason is numpad number entry, which has a comma.
