Description odzinic 2020-09-15 14:29:01 UTC 
SUMMARY
When typing in values for some form fields, the typed in values get changed around based off the system's localization. For example, trying to put in the date "2020" gets formatted to "2,020" automatically with the Canadian English localization.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set system localization to Canadian English
2. Type a date or phone number like 2020 into form fields that accept numbers.

OBSERVED RESULT
The typed in value gets auto-formatted as a regular number. In this example, 2020 becomes 2,020.

EXPECTED RESULT
Okular ignores localization and the year can remain as 2020.

No, that is not an option we will allow. Things need to just work.

If it doesn't work, it needs to work, open a new bug and attach the problematic file.
