Sketcher: When dimensioning, only digits before comma get selected

[Columbus-droid]

Problem description

When adding a new dimension with the dimensioning tool, instead of selecting the whole number, only the digits before the comma are selected. This leads to the following behavior:

• meant to enter "42,42" but got "42,42,xyz" => AstoCAD immediately crashes
• meant to enter "42" but got "42.xyz" => now the measurement is "wrong" because its made up of the intended value plus the values after the comma that did not get selected and therefore overwritten.

Workbench affected?

Sketcher

Steps to reproduce

• Create a new sketch
• Create some geometry like a line
• Use the "Dimension" tool to dimension the geometry

Expected behavior

All digits should be selected so they are replaced on write

Screenshot from FreeCAD:

Actual behavior

Instead of the whole dimension, only the digits before the comma are selected.

Update:

If I run AstoCAD in safe mode, this does not happen. Unfortunately, I can't seem to reset my system to the "same" default state the safe mode uses.
I tried:

• Resetting my settings to default via the settings menu
• Deleting the folder "~/.config/AstoCAD
• Deleting the folder "~/.local/share/AstoCAD
• Deleting the folder "~/.cache/AstoCAD

All to no avail. Are there any other places where an old / broken config could be hiding ?

Have you tested on latest freecad dev version? Also there is a AstoCAD build released today perhaps it's worth testing if the bug is still there.
I cannot replicate but I'm currently away and my laptop does not have the correct config apparantly.
if possible can you provide your user.cfg as it may be specific to your case?
