When using the list form field type (http://docs.joomla.org/List_form_field_type) the interpreter seems to fail to properly parse commas:
<field name="number_format" type="list" class="inputbox" label="number format" description="" size="1" default="0">
<option value="0">19.999,00</option>
<option value="1">19,999.00</option>
</field>
This results in a select list showing the options like this:
jissues-bot

Thanks Bakual-- I did wonder about that and noticed the language string workaround. I'll just use that for now.

This is because the list formfield tries to translate the option text. Since the comma isn't a valid constant string, this is stripped and fails.
There are two ways you could solve this:
Either create your own custom formfield which doesn't translate the option texts, or make the options a translated string. The latter would be preferred since the value format you use is language specific already. In Switzerland we would write it as
19'000,00.If someone wants to write a solution, one could add an attribute to the option (or the field) which says to not translate the options. However I don't know it is worth the effort.
