nobody here from NON UK and NON US, and have problems with numbers like 123,45 ?
I think it is a good idea to have the option to explicitly set the group and decimal separators, just like the date and time format. Right now this is derived from the application language setting.
Our case: although our primary language should be Dutch (notation 1.123,45), we are in the Americas and are used to US format (1,123.45). So, our applications use English instead of Dutch just to keep the decimal point.
In 19.2, the field's format mask is doing what we need (ex: 990.000) . Now, we wanted to switch to APEX 24.1, but fell on “Invalid number format” error messages. As it is a real blocker, we keep our good old 19.2 version.
