This bug happens when using a locale with a space for thousands separator such
as french or swedish.

Type 10000, press calculate result. 
10000 turns into 10 000. Copy the value.
Press add, paste the value.
Pressing calculate results in a warning about malformed expression.


While trying to reproduce this bug, I found another similar issue. This happens
when using en_GB.

Type 10000, press calculate result. 
10000 turns into 10,000. Copy the value.
Press add, paste the value.
Pressing calculate results in a value of 10,010, obviously wrong.
