ggplot call changes locale LC_NUMERIC variable

I am struggling with a strange behaviour of R/ggplot.



Starting a fresh R session and calling sessionInfo() gives

Typing 1.2 returns




1.2




After calling the following two lines of code



library(ggplot2)
ggplot(data.frame(a=1:5, b=1:5), aes(a, b)) + geom_point()


My R-session mysteriously changes the decimal separator from a dot to a comma. Typing 1.2 returns




1,2




All plots I generate have the comma as the decimal separator. Calling sessionInfo() returns

This is something that happened after installing a fresh Mint version together with a fresh, up-to-date R version.



Does someone have an idea of what could cause this?
