TurboTax changes some entered numbers, e.g. foreign currency exchange rate of 1.092 > 1,092.0000

Hi!

I'am doing my 2023 tax return as an expat living in Europe. I have to declare 2 European bank accounts (Form 8938) and provide the applied foreign currency exchange rate. (The form was flagged as containing errors, however the error is on the additional page for the second bank account, where no information re applied foreign currency exchange rate was entered - and I am unable to enter anything manually. Another problem.) Although not marked as an error, the field with the exchange rate has changed from the entered number of 1.092 to 1,092.0000. I cannot fix it.

A similar error occurred in Form 1099-DIV in 7d, where the automatically calculated number is 528,900,000,000.00, when the actual number is 3934.64. If I enter it manually, TT changes it back to the incorrect number.

How on earth am I supposed to get rid of these errors when I cannot manually correct them???
