[Solved] Correct Locale not output to clipboard

[Syres]

On testing a Draft regression I noticed that my usual Locale: English/UnitedKingdom (en_GB) had changed to Locale: C/Default (C) not only on myself compiled build but using the AppImage also (I assume this isn't by design). At present I'm running a Git Bisect in order to narrow down the commit that introduced this and I'll report back later today.

No need to bisect, I can tell you which commit it is

There a new option in preferences below the language selection to specifically use the selected language locale.

OK thanks for the info but I really hope this isn't having a side effect in the handling of metres/millimetres etc , see https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=67437

Yes probably it is. One should retry with "Use selected language number format" option enabled in Preferences/General/General.

I'm really sorry but this IMHO is just not a good move so close to release, instead of the correct Locale I'm now getting Locale: English/United States (en_US) so the list is missing English (UK) or better still allow power users to bypass this in the Parameter Editor.

I have no clue when is planned the release. Do you ?
For information, the PR is weeks old and (benevolent) contributors have absolutely no control over when a PR is merged.

I guess a parameter switch to get "old" behavior should be possible. But it just looks to me as a dirty patch that have not to last...

Nope but we are in feature freeze so I am making an assumption that's it's not months away, I'm just trying to imagine all the UK (and other unlisted countries) users upgrading to 0.20 on release will be bombarding the Help forum with where/why etc.

Isn't UK numbering same as US? anyone using dots already shouldn't see a difference. Those of us that used comma probably will, if the bugs are fixed this is a change for the better IMO, being able to choose which one to use independent of OS or FreeCAD language would be ideal for me.

"Copy to clipboard" function has been updated so it displays both FC and OS locales.
