There is some mess with the decimal separator in Linux Mint Mate
(GTK).
In my local settings the decimal separator is comma, the OS widgets
use decimal separator comma.
The Lazarus IDE uses decimal seprator comma.
But when I run an app, it starts showing whatever it wants 
TFloadSpinEdit works fine.
FloatTioString does not, nor does TAChart.

Try including clocale unit and see if it helps

Thanks, things seem fine now.
I suppose that I have to add it to every unit?

Edit: Thanks for the clarification in the next post.

It should be enough to do in once - presumably in the program (*.lpr)
file, same {$IFDEF UNIX} section where it imports cthreads unit in the
beginning (in case of a Lazarus generated program).
