Re: Localized number formatting

This is what I tried:
1)Go to System preferences/international/formats, and set region to 
norway(norwegian nynorsk)
2)Create new Core Data project. (called it "quick")
3)Go to the model. and create an entity with an optional decimal 
attribute "numb"
4)Open MainMenu.nib, and option-drag the entity to create a UI for 
many objects.
5)Go to the number formatter of the column corresponding to "numb", 
select the second from the top in terms of formatting options, click 
on localize.
6)Then I run the program. You are quite right, as it is there is a 
problem.
7)Now, go back to the inspector for the formatter, click the second 
option for formatting again, and then disable and reenable the 
localize option again.
8)Now, mysteriously it works.

Sounds to me like a bug in IB, if you can actually reproduce these 
steps.
