[Solved] TextBox Losing Decimal Place (When region is Arabic Qatar)

[Christopher Ronak]

Hello, the textbox does not seem to format correctly if the region is Arabic Qatar.  The currency symbol for Qatar is ر.ق.‏

The issue seems to be the way the regular expression is built for parsing values in the textbox.  In particular, the following

        builder.cat('[ |')
               .cat(that.groupSeparator)
               .catIf('|' + that.symbol, that.symbol)
               .cat(']');

The regular expression is incorrect, using [ ] indicates a range of characters.  This works great if the currency symbol is a single character, but as in the case above, if the currency symbol is multi characters then the behaviour is not as expected.  Instead, using the following 

        builder.cat('( |')
               .cat(that.groupSeparator)
               .catIf('|' + that.symbol, that.symbol)
               .cat(')');

is the correct expression to use.  We've patched our local version of telerik but it would be nice to get a hotfix or something.  

Thanks!
