(I have entered a bug report for this too)
When I run BIRT with german locale, paddings, margins, sizes etc can not
be changed correctly in the property editor. If I enter '500.0' for
example, the value is converted to '5000.0' when I press enter. When I
start eclipse with -Duser.language=en -Duser.region=US, everything is fine.
There seems to be a problem with the decimal separator. All values are
presented with '.' instead of the german ',', e.g. a value of 500 is
presented as '500.0' instead of german '500,0'. The input '500' (no
decimal places) is parsed correctly (giving '500.0'), but the input
'500.0' and '500,0' both are converted to 5000 and presented as '5000.0'.
This bug makes BIRT nearly unusable in german environment, its is
especially annoying with the chart component - when I try to change its
size, its becoming real huge and eclipse freezes. This probably happens
to other locales too. You may want to put a note near the download area
that people should use -vmargs -Duser.language=en -Duser.region=US to
start eclipse.
Thanks a lot for providing such a great product.

Andreas,
You should file a Bugzilla report - this looks like a bug that BIRT should
fix. Thanks for suggesting the workaround of setting the region/language to
US English.
