"Decimal Separator key - Same as locale setting" does not 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.
