Scheduled transactions question

[Guillaume Lessard]

Hello,

I've been using gnucash for a long time, and I just recently concluded  
that there might just be a bug in the 2.x version of scheduled  
transactions:

Values for the various splits are stored as strings.

The problem with that is that if I open my gnucash file on a computer  
whose default method to display numbers is different than another,  
then the scheduled transactions cannot work.

For example, I normally use numbers that look like "1 234,56", and  
that's what is stored in my scheduled transactions. My travel computer  
was set up in US localization, and my scheduled transactions didn't  
function properly when gnucash (2.2.9) expected US formatting  
("1,234.56").

I'm holding off on the bug report for now, because I seem to remember  
that it didn't work that way in the old scheduled transactions module  
(from 1.8.x); is there a good reason to store these numbers as strings?

Thanks,
