Strange comma bug on Lubuntu 24 ...

Hi, dear list !

I'm growing slightly desperate as i recently encountered a weird bug in 
PD 0.55-2 on a
LUUNTU 24 system that i can't seem to track down no matter what i try.

Here's the outline:

After a while of working on a patch, without any reason or reproducable 
scenario,
PD starts to save patches converting commas to colons.
Re-opening such a "wrong formatted" patch of course produces a lot of 
errors, f.e. in message boxes that i use for loadbang stuff.

So, something like:

[;
foo 0.0345;
bar 4.567;
me 0.001;(

becomes just

[;
foo 0(

omitting all the rest of the message

And i get an error in the console:
canvas: no method for 'float'

Repairing such patches of course is a long and cumbersome drag
(because it's not immediately noticeable when this bug starts to kick 
in, only on patch re-opening).

=====================================================================================

My patch is very big and involved (has lots of abstractions), so i won't 
post it here.

First i thought it had something to do with an abstraction that used 
data structures quite heavily, which occasionally threw some errors.
But i already removed that part from my patch. I am using a lot of 
"write" and "read" stuff in my patch (mostly [text]s, but also 
.fxp/.vstpreset files with [vstplugin~]. I can't seem to find any weird 
stuff going on in my patch that could lead to this bug.

I have never experienced this before and i am beginning to think that 
either my computer or my system is messed up. But just before i throw it 
out of the window: Has anyone any idea what's going on here ? Or 
experienced something similar to this ?

Best

Oliver
