Yes, the bug affected any locale that used a non period (.) as its
decimal point (radix) character. For example Portuguese (pt), German
(de), etc.
Coloured text can be set by right clicking on a word and choosing
font, and then the colour tab. I suppose "font" should be replaced by
"style" or something.
Thanks for committing the fix!
