Cannot enter decimal value using numeric keyboard as spanish user

Hi all,

The user has ArcGIS pro 2.9.11 installed and configured with regionalization and Windows OS in Spanish.

The normal thing for the user is to enter decimal or double values using the numeric keypad. From the Attribute section (when editing or creating a new feature) a value is entered to a double type field (with the original format configuration), ArcGIS Pro identifies the dot (from the numeric keypad) as a thousands separator and transforms the value to integer. For example, the user enters "1.2" -> "12"; from a regionalization point of view this is confusing, since the graphical interface is in Spanish; for example Excel does not have this behavior.

To enter decimal data, user must use comma, normal keyboard, i.e. it does not use the numeric keypad and is therefore very cumbersome and slow for frequent edits.

How can I control or change this behavior? or is it something that is already solved in higher versions?

Thanks!
