 I think this is a side-effect of Qt changing decimal separator, but octave
 is apparently broken for me since some time recently (It could have been a
 month or more since I last used it).

 {{{
 octave:1> a = 1.3e2
 a =  1
 }}}

 It works correctly if I set `export LC_ALL=C`. I believe this needs a fix
 somewhere in the source code.

 Some software sets
 {{{
 setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "POSIX");
 }}}
 inside C(++) code to cancel the side effect of Qt setting this to the
 locale.

 I have `LC_ALL=sl_SI.UTF8` set in my environmental variables and I run
 octave from Terminal (not sure why, some time ago it would automatically
 launch with a GUI, but no time to debug now).
