I am using the r4963 exec which fixes another bug I reported. r4963 does something that some will love and others will hate. integers and I presume floating point values are displayed in Heidi with commas (perhaps to make understanding the values easier).
This really freaked me out because I have integers that do not have commas in them that would break my system if commas were really in the data. I thought my code blew up for a few minutes.
for my use, the commas get in the way and make it difficult to interpret what the integer values mean.
Can you put a switch in options to enable/disable automatic comma display?
r4963 numeric display issue -- commas or not?
Yes, that's there since several releases, in Tools > Preferences > Text formatting: "Local number format".
That setting was introduced with a default set to false. Since not so long ago, I changed that default to true, for usability reasons. However, you can change it as you like.

Thanks for the quick reply
It was the change in the default that got me going. I had looked in the text formatting prefs but the "Local number format" did not resonate.
Perhaps the nomenclature of the setting could be refined -- "Local number format" does not jump out as relating to commas. Perhaps "Display commas in numeric values" would be more obvious and self-explanatory?
