Hi, I'm experiencing a strange error when using the spotlight calculator running iOS11 and the language set to Swedish. When doing multiplication with a number containing three decimals it goes insane. But only when using a point and not a comma as decimal separator. Anyone else experiencing this?

It's not just you, I see this as well, and I have my phone set to English, however Norwegian region. Weird!

It is probably that in UK-english and Swedish we use comma as the thousand separator so 0.001 equals 1. This can also be verified by doing 1*0.001.001 = 1001 but the behavior feels inconsistent. However in macOS this is not how it works and there 1*0.001 = 0.001 using the same localization.
