If I create a new top level group with non-english characters (!) and try to add a new category inside using right click menu, it has no name in the pop up menu and click on the menu has no effect:
I tested it here and it’s not related to non-English characters. It appears that there is a bug in Both view where the number of row is calculated incorrectly and so the category is suggested from another row. If you do that in either of the regular views like plan, actuals, or combine, it should be fine. I will file this bug. Quite embarrassing in fact.
I’ve already fixed the other bug your reported, related to using actual decimal separator from regional settings.
