Issues with different decimal ("." instead of ",") because of language other than English #2396

Whenever I try to paste (CTRL+V) a 0.011 or any other 0.xxxx value in Calculator 11.2502.2.0 only "11" gets pasted.
Windows 11 in Italian = it uses as default localization comma "," for decimals and "." as 000 separator.

Steps To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Set Windows 11 in Italian
  2. Copy a 0.011 value from Notepad or any other source (CTRL+C)
  3. Paste it into Calculator (CTRL+V)
  4. See how only the part after 0. gets pasted as integer because of decimal character mismatch!

Expected behavior
Should paste the number I copied, e.g. 0.011 -> 0,011 (converted to "," in case of Italian Windows localization).
"." should always be read as decimal. In general all real world human calcs use international decimal "." despite Windows localization settings, so you're expected to copy that decimal number in Calculator ignoring Windows localizations (i.e. "0.1" should be read as "0,1" on Italian Windows).
Not exactly a bug (after all Calculator strictly applies Windows locale settings rules...) but can be very annoying on copy & paste.
