That was the very first thing I tried, but no luck. When those settings was introduced I used 0.x form first, because you guys are using strange dates too But back then it changed the format to 0,x when I clicked save.
Now it messes numbers right away when comes a real number (well, zero is a real number, kind of…).
Why isn’t it accepting nothing else than numbers then? Is it a bit smarter or thigher than others that are picky that way, but only when trying to save? But a bit dummer too because it is denying 0.x too just because it doesnt like 0,x.
I’m just curious here because, kind of, it is helpful approach to deny every characters than right ones.
My priority one is: sorry, I’m stupid, but I couldn’t even imagine this could do something like this. But when latest upgrading didn’t work I remembered I’ve seen input thingy somewhere and after that solution was quite easy to find.
Secondary question is do you have an idea why that broke places (I had some other strange happenings with Discourse Chatbot too) — is regex faulty?
Anyway this wasn’t a bug per se and you can take away one, but only one, bug reported badge from me
The problems is that you are unconditionally doing the replace and that is fiddling with stuff downstream, a minimal fix would be only to perform the replace it fhe (c) is actually there, that said I would recommend against this hack anyway and do this in markdown prettify. ™
Back in the day we disabled this replacement here:
What you want is some sort of plugin that re-enables it.
