            Bug ID: 127951
           Summary: Writer doesn't align numbers whose digits have been
                    grouped using the French Swiss apostrophe character
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: william at gathoye.be

Description:
While the SI/ISO 31-0 norm seems to standardize digit grouping around non
breaking space, standard space or no space at all, some countries like
Switzerland is still widely using non standard characters to group them like
the apostrophe.

While we could think this is a corner case, in practice, this isn't. In Calc
for example, the default character used to group digits in a number is still
defined to the apostrophe when French (Switzerland) is chosen.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set the document to the French language (or any other language actually, the
problem is the same with other languages as well).
2. Type 1'250.60
3. Via Format > Paragraph..., add a tabulation whose type is set to "Decimal".
4. Press the Tab key to align the number you typed to the tabulation you
defined.

Actual Results:
Realize the number is not aligned at the decimal separator, but rather at the
apostrophe

Expected Results:
The number aligned at the decimal separator


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
