--- Comment #4 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
This is two different things:

1. LibreOffice does not use custom format settings/codes defined in Windows
(tdf#73242);
2. Misconception of what is "Decimal Separator key - Same as locale setting".

The latter option - "Decimal Separator key - Same as locale setting" - does not
mean what you want it to mean ("use decimal separator as defined in system").
Instead, it means "when user presses numpad "." button, should LibreOffice
insert the character that system sends to the application (option unchecked) or
the character defined in the locale *used in LibreOffice* as decimal separator
(option checked)" [1]. Note that this results in different *text* being entered
into the place where current edit is performed; and what happens with that
*text* later is unrelated to the setting: LibreOffice will then treat the
string using its normal processing, and if the resulting string does not form a
valid number in the locale used in LibreOffice, it will rightfully *not* become
a number then.
