Semicolons vs commas in measures

[MichaelGEE]

Hi, my Windows regional settings uses ";" as a list seperator and "," as a decimal seperator. I'm using PBI Desktop in English with the "Use localized DAX separators" setting on. Recently (could be after updating to Oct-21 but I'm not sure), every time I save a measure, the ";" are converted to "," and it's shown as an error while editing the measure. The measure works after saving with ";" but everytime I want to edit the measure, the "," are there again and I need to replace them with ";" in order to keep the measure working. I'd never had this problem before, all my measures were always using ";" without any problems.

Is there anyone else experiencing this? I found one thread with similar problem here but no solution was given. Thank you very much.
