Description of the issue

Result from the Random function should return a number between 0 and 1, but on some computer it return a number greater than 1, it does not put a comma in front of the number.

If I change the OS language for english, it work fine, if I go back to french i got the wrong result.

See screen shot where I tested on different computer, in red are when the result is wrong.

Should give something like:

,1909294608049094677

Actual result

But give something like:

1909294608049094677

Configuration information

I found two computer that have this particular behavior, both are Mac OS 10.9.2 and in french.

All version of FileMaker on the computer are affected.

Not all Mac OS 10.9.2 in french have the problem.

Workaround

I have to create a new calculation instead of the Random function, something like:

Let (
randomNumber = Random;

If ( randomNumber < 1 ; randomNumber ; "," & randomNumber )
)
