Description

The description here is longer than the patch

The AWT preview window uses DecimalFormat
to format the current zoom level, which (correctly) on a German locale results in comma
being used instead of dot as a decimal separator.

However, when re-reading it using Double.parseDouble
is requires a dot, because parseDouble is not locale aware, resulting in a NumberFormatException
being thrown.

Possible fixes:

• Use a different number parser (non-trivial)
• Ensure
  that the number is always formated with a dot as decimal separator (as done in the attached
  patch)
