Minimal demonstration of decimal point bug

Hi Andreas.  The attached .OTT file demonstrates the issue.  
It includes an explanation as well as screenshots since YMMV, as I suspect the
behaviour depends on the system locale.  Mine is South Africa, where the
decimal separator is a comma, not a period.

For me this problem manifests in 2 ways: (a) with constant fields in the
template itself, as demonstrated here and (b) with values pulled from a
spreadsheet and inserted into the document by a macro.  The second case is hard
to demo in a single file, but I'd say it boils down to the same root cause: the
number will be inserted into the document with a period (not a comma) as the
separator, and consequently calculations that depend on the value will fail.
