[Bug]: UI error re locale use on numbers when assigning quota values

Bug description

I have tried this more than once, using latest (32?) version.
Create a new user. Go to set quota, enter value "1000GB". Press return.
See that the value is "1,000 GB" (this is critical). It looks ok. I want it to mean 1 TB for this user.
There is a locale error here in how this number is going to get interpreted, of US vs European numbers and use of commas vs periods. Upon hitting Enter, NC has take the value I typed and interpreted it into something looks ok as a US number, but then it decides, because of the US vs European locale difference, that I entered 1.000 GB, and it give me a quota of 1 GB. I expect that many variations of this would produce the same failure.

Steps to reproduce

1. create new user
2. go to give them a custom quota value of 1000TB
3. see that that 1000 has been changed to 1,000 -- that means something different between US and Europe. To me in the US it means one thousand, in Europe it means one exactly
4. try uploading 2 GB of files. This will error out from exceeding quota, because the number I entered got modified by the software to a very different number, because there's a locale failure here somewhere.

Expected behavior

If I enter 1000, I should get 1000, not "1,000"

Configuration report

the config is the default that happens when you install Ubuntu. I haven't made any changes to that. whatever that install does is what I have in place. I don't know what web-server, database, etc. Whatever the defaults are are what I have.

unknown. I've just done a full reinstall so I can fix the regrettably bizarre business about the real size of the default LVM leaving a huge amount of disk as unallocated free space

Having figured out the bug, and a workaround, I will be doing that now.

Agreed.

For the record you can directly enter "1 TB".
