Editing fuel burn in aircraft profile: error entering decimal point

I am running SD on an Android 4.3 tablet and on PC with Windows 7.
I try to create an aircraft profile. Part of that is to enter several fuel burn data. That works fine on the Windows PC.

But on my Android tablet I get an error message when trying to enter a decimal point, as the field is high lighted red when hitting enter. I have tried different on-screen keyboards. Doesn't work.

Here is what happens:
Tapping the fuel burn fields for Fuel, Climb, Descent, Power Settings ("Taxi/Takeoff", "Landing", etc) changes the selected field into editing mode and a keypad pops up. If I try to enter a decimal point and hit Next, then the field gets high lighted red and the entered value is ignored.

I haven't seen any thread on this issue on the forum, so is it only me having this problem? This is very frustrating, so I hope SD can fix this quickly.

I don't believe it's independent of language setting. We just haven't found the right setting. We have thousands of subscribers using SkyDemon for Android and this thread is the only place I've seen anyone experiencing an issue, and it only seems to be on devices with those locale settings. There must be another setting, or a possible need to reboot the device or something after changing the setting/keyboard, that is leading to this.
