Gnucash 2.4.9 wrong date format for locale? (OS X 10.6.8)

[titusn]

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the swift reply. The workarounds do not seem to be working for
me. It just keeps defaulting to the US format regardless of what I chose in
the properties dialog. Luckily one of the programmers could reproduce this
behaviour and is already tracking the bug. So hopefully it will be solved
in a newer version.

Kind regards,

Titus
