@JP,
Understood but we can always create our own validator derive from the
base wxNumValidator or wxValidator object if wxFloatingPointValidator is
to restrictive. As for the numeric limiting, if you set the limit's to
0.5 than 0.6 is illegal both as an initial value and as user entered
value so that is just the behavior of the validator which we could also
override in a derived object.

@Wayne,
I was never impressed by the wxFloatingPointValidator.
AFAIK, for instance, if a minimal value is fixed to 0.5, you cannot enter a value starting by 0 like 0.6 (just because starting a value by 0 is too small)
You need to enter 1.6 and after change 1.6 to 0.6
But the issue here is different:
In countries using a comma as separator, we use both the . or the , to enter a floating point value.
In a dialog, these 2 separators *must be* equivalent when the separator is the comma.
But wxFloatingPointValidator does not accept both separators, only the
comma.
This is very annoying.
If we want to use a FloatingPointValidator, we need to create our own validator.
For me wxFloatingPointValidator just does not work in Kicad.

Title:
pcbnew: float point separator '.' truncate fractional part (default
separator is ',')
Status in KiCad:
New
Bug description:
For example: if set in dialog 'Move exactly' `Move vector X` to 2.5 then number truncated up to 2.
If set 2,5 then number not truncated (OK).
